Reviews
This edition, as so many Oxford World's Classics editions do, has just the perfect cover image... [an] excellent introduction by Robert Vilain. * Lisa Hill, ANZLitLovers *
For its notes this edition will be invaluable. * Charlie Louth, Times Literary Supplement *
A brilliant new translation. * JC, the Lady *
masterly translation * Translation and Literature *
Reading Notebooks had a strange, dreamlike effect on me; the lines between past and present, real and unreal seemed blurred and it's a book that in many ways is hard to get a handle on.g the effort worthwhile, and I'm keen now to read some of Rilke's poetry. * Shiney New Books *
"Notebooks" was an absorbing read, with the often beautiful and evocative prose making the effort worthwhile, and I'm keen now to read some of Rilke's poetry. * Kaggsy's Bookish Ramblings *
