The notebooks of Malte Laurids Brigge
Book • 1910
The Notebooks of Malte Laurids Brigge is Rilke's only novel, written between 1904 and 1910.
It is a collection of notes, memories, and impressions of Malte Laurids Brigge, a 28-year-old Danish nobleman and poet living in Paris.
The book is characterized by its lack of traditional structure, reading more like a journal or diary than a conventional novel.
It delves into themes of existential crisis, the search for identity, and the profound impact of childhood experiences on adult life.
Malte's reflections are deeply introspective, touching on death, loneliness, and the human condition, all set against the backdrop of a Paris that is both beautiful and terrifying.
The novel is notable for its modernist style, rich in lyrical language and metaphor, and its exploration of the thin line between reality and the unreal.
