You Must Change Your Life: The Story of Rainer Maria Rilke and Auguste Rodin, by Rachel Corbett (https://www.amazon.com/Rachel-Corbett/e/B01H5YJ554/ref=dp_byline_cont_ebooks_1) (Illustrated) In 1902, Rainer Maria Rilke, then a struggling poet in Germany, went to Paris to research and write a short book about the sculptor Auguste Rodin. The two were almost polar opposites: Rilke in his twenties, delicate and unknown; Rodin in his sixties, carnal and revered. Yet they fell into an instantaneous friendship. Transporting readers to early twentieth-century Paris, Rachel Corbett’s You Must Change Your Life is a vibrant portrait of Rilke and Rodin and their circle, revealing how deeply Rodin’s ideas about art and creativity influenced Rilke’s classic Letters to a Young Poet. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01BX7S0J6/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_hsch_vapi_tkin_p1_i0 .. .. .. .. ..
