Notebooks of Malte Laurids Brigge

by Rainer Maria Rilke

About this title: First published in 1910, this is Rilke's only novel--a unique and distilled narrative in diary form. Malte Laurids Brigge is a Danish poet living in Paris in the early 20th century, whose obsessions with death and strivings after a reality stripped down to its essentials prefigure much in Rilke's own poetry as well as in the modernist movement in general.

Note: This is a general synopsis. Each listing is described below.

""What's the use of telling someone that I am changing? If I'm changing, I am no longer who I was; and if I am something else, it's obvious that I have no acquaintances. And I can't possibly write to strangers."

It is precisely because the form of this book is so hard to pin down that it is so effective. It challenges the reader to forget about the novel, and its easy explications and narrative arcs. (Though it feels much too organically arisen for me to use the term 'experimental'). Here we have a scattered mess, constantly morphing: Proustian memories of childhood, historical tangents on some King/Duke (this is where he lost me; I'll need to learn more and re-read), ruminations on poverty and death, ghosts, philosophy, observations, and Biblical stories re-told Rilkean style. But no hand is there to guide us through, we have to piece these fragments together to form the life (or at least one day in the life) of Malte Laurids Brigge. We can only imply, and only by seeing things Malte's way can we be. The story ends abruptly. No conclusions, no real story (if that is what you are looking for), only sketches, a glimpse here and there, but it feels so full! And enlarging!"

"Das beste Geschenk, dass mir mein Vater je gemacht hat. Ein echtes Novemberbuch. Hoffentlich ein sonniger November...

S59

Es sind ein wenig abgelegene Stellen wo man sie findet, aber durchaus nicht versteckte. Die Büsche treten zurück, der Weg wendet sich ein wenig um den Rasenplatz herum: da stehen sie und haben eine Menge durchsichtigen Raumes um sich, als ob sie unter einem Glassturz stünden. Du könntest sie für nachdenkliche Spaziergänger halten, diese unscheinbaren Männer von kleiner, in jeder Hinsicht unscheinbarer Gestalt. Aber du irrst. Siehst du die linke Hand, wie sie nach etwas greift in der schiefen Tasche des alten Überziehers; wie sie es findet und herausholt und den kleinen Gegenstand linkisch und auffällig in die Luft hält? Es dauert keine Minute, so sind zwei, drei Vögel da, Spatzen, die neugierig heranhüpfen. Und wenn es dem Manne gelingt, ihrer sehr genauen Auffassung von Unbeweglichkeit zu entsprechen, so ist kein Grund, warum sie nicht noch näher kommen sollen. Und schließlich steigt der erste und schwirrt eine Weile nervös in der Höhe jener Hand, die (weiß Gott) ein kleines Stück abgenutzen süßen Brotes mit anspruchslosen, ausdrücklich verzichtenden Fingern hinbietet. Und je mehr Menschen sich um ihn sammeln, in entsprechendem Abstand natürlich, desto weniger hat er mit ihnen gemein. Wie ein Leuchter steht er da, der ausbrennt, und leuchtet mit dem Rest von Docht und ist ganz warm davon und hat sich nie gerührt. Und wie er lockt, wie er anlockt, das können die vielen, kleinen, dummen Vögel gar nicht beurteilen. Wenn die Zuschauer nicht wären, und man ließe ihn lange genug dastehen, ich bin sicher, daß auf einmal ein Engel käme und überwände sich und äße den alten, süßlichen Bissen aus der verkrümmten Hand. Dem sind nun, wie immer, die Leute im Wege. Sie sorgen dafür, daß nur Vögel kommen, sie finden das reichlich, und sie behaupten, er erwarte sich nichts anderes. Was sollte sie auch erwarten, diese alte, verregnete Puppe, die ein wenig schräg in der Erde steckt, wie die Schiffsfiguren in den kleinen Gärten zu Hause; kommt auch bei ihr diese Haltung davon her, daß sie einmal irgendwo vorne gestanden hat auf ihrem Leben, wo die Bewegung am größten ist? Ist sie nun so verwaschen, weil sie einmal bunt war? Willst du sie fragen?



S42

> Die Kinder loser und verachteter Leute, die die Geringsten im Lande waren. Nun bin ich ihr Saitenspiel geworden und muß ihr Märlein sein.
... sie haben über mich einen Weg gemacht ...
... es war ihnen so leicht, mich zu beschädigen, daß sie keiner Hülfe dazu durften.
... nun aber geußt sich aus meiner Sele über mich, und mich hat ergriffen die elende Zeit.
Des Nachts wird mein Gebein durchbohret allenthalben; und die mich jagen, legen sich nicht schlafen.
Durch die Menge der Kraft werde ich anders und anders gekleidet, und man gürtet mich damit wie mit dem Loch meines Rocks ...
Meine Eingeweide sieden und höre nicht auf, mich hat überfallen die elende Zeit ...
Des Meine Harfe ist eine Klage worden, und meine Pfeife ein Weinen.<"

May 11, 2009
By Rose, Brooklyn, NY

"always afraid to read Rilke (poetry!?!), this book of prose was $5 at the Strand so it seemed like a good place to start. reading much like a journal (as i suppose it's intended) The Notebooks... wanders from topic to topic, on some emotional thread of one young man -

"I am 28 years old and almost nothing has been done."

- ghosts, and some opaque sexuality questioning, some depression and some wandering in the township. kind of great. at parts it lags, as one might imagine from a journal, but the middle third is, i think, really exciting exploration of childhood with lots of ghost stories and somewhat melancholy but beautiful prose.

sadly, my book has been soaked with a bit of mu shu vegetables, so is now unreadable."

"The writing in this book is often very good, but it's mashed together in such a way as to make it more often than not unreadable."
