My Friend Rilke

Ellen writes an article about Rainer Maria Rilke, knowing his name but not his work. Then the impossible happens: she meets Rilke in person. A love story unfolds between two eras and worldviews. Melanie Garanin poetically opens a fresh perspective on the famous poet through beautiful graphic storytelling that bridges literature and art. 

“My friend Rilke” offers an accessible entry point to classic German literature while appealing to both poetry enthusiasts and graphic novel readers.
