You Must Change Your Life: The Story of Rainer Maria Rilke and Auguste Rodin

Winner of the 2016 Marfield Prize
In 1902, Rainer Maria Rilkeâ€•then a struggling poet in Germanyâ€•went to Paris to research and write a short book about the sculptor Auguste Rodin. The two were almost polar opposites: Rilke in his twenties, delicate and unknown; Rodin in his sixties, carnal and revered. Yet they fell into an instantaneous friendship. Transporting readers to early twentieth-century Paris, Rachel Corbettâ€™s You Must Change Your Life is a vibrant portrait of Rilke and Rodin and their circle, revealing how deeply Rodinâ€™s ideas about art and creativity influenced Rilkeâ€™s classic Letters to a Young Poet. 16 illustrations
