"What important is living every moment," Ask the questions for the time being. Rilke's insightful and poetic letters to a young friend offer counsel on writing, love, sex, pain, and the nature of advice itself. They have had a significant impact on writers and artists of all types. In honour of the 1946 publication of the first Penguin Classic, the Little Black Classics series has included 46 additional titles. With works from all across the world and through the centuries, each book offers readers a taste of the Classics' enormous range and diversity, including fables, decadence, heartbreak, tall tales, satire, ghosts, battles, and elephants.
