Rainer Maria Rilke

Rainer Maria Rilke's The Notebooks of Malte Laurids Brigge (1910), his only novel, is an introspective and poetic account of the inner turmoil of a young Danish nobleman, Malte Laurids Brigge, in Paris.

Written in the form of diary entries, the novel explores themes of existential anxiety, mortality, art, and the loss of identity in the modern world.

Malte, a 28-year-old poet, comes to Paris seeking inspiration, but is confronted with feelings of alienation and fear. The city, noisy and chaotic, intensifies his inner insecurity. Through fragmented thoughts, memories of his childhood in Denmark, and reflections on the history of his aristocratic family, Malte contemplates the transience of life and the impossibility of finding meaning. He encounters the poor, the sick, and the outcast, which leads him to contemplate suffering and death. His notes intertwine reality, dreams, and philosophical reflections, creating a layered picture of a man struggling with his own existence.

The novel has no classical plot, but is a mosaic of impressions, symbols, and lyrical passages. Malte’s obsession with the past and fear of the future reflect Rilke’s own search for spiritual and artistic answers. The work, situated between realism and modernism, influenced existentialist literature, and its introspective depth makes it a universal exploration of the human soul and the artistic calling.
