{"product_id":"selfscape-book-of-hours-rainer-maria-rilke-edition-9780578403755","title":"SelfScape Book of Hours: Rainer Maria Rilke Edition","description":"This new translation of selected poems from Rainer Maria Rilke's Das Stunden-Buch (Book of Hours) includes images of sculpture and artwork by Auguste Rodin, Paul C zanne, Vincent van Gogh, Emil Orlik, Heinrich Vogeler, Ernst Barlach, K the Kollwitz and other artists known to Rilke and his contemporaries. It represents a modern take on the medieval Book of Hours, a personal devotional book of prayers for the Christian layperson that often was illustrated with religious miniatures and illuminated text. The novel approach of the SelfScape Book of Hours: Rainer Maria Rilke Edition to Rilke's first major work of poetry shows how Rilke deconstructed the traditional components of the medieval Book of Hours - Sequences of the Gospels, Hours of the Virgin, Cross and Holy Spirit, Penitential Psalms, Office of the Dead and Suffrages - and used that medieval form as a vehicle for his own unique poetic conversation with God. The three individual books of Rilke's Book of Hours - the Book of Monastic Life, Book of Pilgrimage and Book of Poverty and Death - are reordered here to map back to the medieval Book of Hours format and to progress through the monastic daily hours of prayer - Matins and Lauds from midnight to dawn, Prime, Terce, Sext and None during the daylight hours, Vespers at sunset and Compline at bedtime.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jeff Jinnett, Rainer Maria Rilke\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Selfscape Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/25\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.88lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.02h x 8.50w x 0.69d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780578403755\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Selfscape Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40055137042547,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":63.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_f3980a51-07e1-406e-af2d-30de518e4248.jpg?v=1651412988","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/selfscape-book-of-hours-rainer-maria-rilke-edition-9780578403755","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
