Sandra Richter, Rilke: oder das offene Leben

6th March 2025
Memorial Room Queen's College

Sandra Richter of the Deutsches Literaturarchiv in Marbach will present her new biography of Rilke: Rainer Maria Rilke: oder, Das offene Leben (Insel Verlag, 2025).

Rainer Maria Rilke was born in 1875 in Prague and passed away in 1926 in Montreux, Switzerland, making 2025 the 150th anniversary of this remarkable author’s birth, and 2026 the 100th anniversary of his death. This biography draws on previously unseen materials newly acquired by Marbach to paint a portrait of Rilke as we have never seen him before.
 

The event will take place at 5.15 pm in The Queen’s College on Thursday 6th March  (7th week) in the Memorial Room (not the Mcgrath room as advertised before). All welcome. Drinks will be served.

This event will take place in English.
