Men vindt er de figuur in van de dichter, staande aan het open raam en uitziende in 'de wereld'. Het dichterschap wordt verbeeld als manier van leven, een zijnswijze. Voorzichtig en nauwkeurig onthult de schrijver in deze dagboekbladen hoe de wortels van alle menselijke onverklaarbaarheden in de gedragingen en ervaringen van zonderlingen en verstotenen, van dichters en dwazen, bezetenen en geschondenen bloot liggen en hun geheime oorsprong verraden. Samenv.: In dit werk (1910) tracht Rilke met zichzelf in het reine te komen. Brigge, een 28-jarige Deense edelman, leidt een armoedig bestaan in Parijs. Hij is een peinzer die overal het absurde, het ongrijpbare, mysterieuze ziet. Koortsachtige dwangvoorstellingen, schrik voor het leven, angst voor de dood vervolgen hem. Angst is een oerfenomeen geworden. Realisme en surrealisme liggen in elkaars verlengde. Het verhaal is allereerst de weergave van Rilkes eigen geesteswereld, maar eveneens van de mensheid op zoek naar haar eindbestemming. I'm a little over a quarter through this book. I found it on sale for $1 at used book sale and since I love the poet Rilke, and learned this was his only novel, I decided to read it. I'm not that knowledgeable about the expressionists, but I'm fascinated by artists like Egon Shiele and the whole period that encompassed their work. Rilke was an incredible poet, and because his poetry speaks to me like no other, I will finish Brigge even though it's not an easy book to read. By "not easy" I'm talking about its abstract, dis-embodied voice that seems to float above life, as well as the fragmentary notebook form that seem to have little continuity other than a vague nausea that Sartre and Kafka would later magnify. Brigge is semi-autobiographical, and the scenes that portray his childhood in his grandfather's dining hall are truly unforgettable. Like other expressionists' work, Rilke's images of faceless people, people who were afflicted with modern life in one way or other, were ahead of their time and are strangely resonant even today. Update: Finished the book. Parts of it were stunning, for example the passages on subjects like fear and time. Other parts I had to force myself to push through, perhaps because of the growing distance from Rilke's milieu. The value of the book for me is to see the strands of thought that are later woven into Rilke's mature poetry. IMO those who find the book boring may be suffering from the diseases of speed and superficiality; not their fault, but nonetheless it's a sad legacy of consumer culture. I didn't get all of this, but I really enjoyed reading it. I'm a patient reader, I read many 900-pages Victorian novels but really, this book stretches my limit and I gave up halfway. The prose is beautiful but the fragmented narration is just irritating. Sure, the fragmentation has a point, but surely that point can be made without the sacrifice of the reader's interest. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
