There are ten letters written to a young man about to enter the German military.</span></p><p><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>In the very beginning of the 1903 Rilke received a letter from a twenty-year old lieutenant of Austro-Hungarian army Franz Kappus. Verses were enclosed to the letter: the lieutenant turned out to be a poet. Rilke answered. Rilke wrote Franz Kappus ten letters; the last of them is dated by December 1908. After Rilke's death the letters were published in a separate book entitled Letters To A Young Poet. Of all Rilke's extensive correspondence these letters won the greatest popularity. It is explained by their content: there is nothing personal or private in them; Rilke wrote about the poetry nature of poetic works irony loneliness love etc. His philosophy-aesthetic views of that time are well reflected in these letters.</span></p><p></p><p></p>
