Fin 1902, un jeune homme de 20 ans envoie ses essais poétiques à Rainer Maria Rilke et lui demande de les juger. Une correspondance s'établit entre les deux hommes. Dix lettres constituent ce recueil, publié en 1929, après la mort de Rilke. "Vous me demandez si vos vers sont bons... Votre regard est tourné vers le dehors ; c'est cela qu'il ne faut plus faire. Personne ne peut vous apporter conseil ou aide, personne. Il n'est qu'un seul chemin."

Tilmann Lahme legt hier zusammen mit Holger Pils und Kerstin Klein eine Sammlung von Briefen vor, die einen ganz unverstellten, intimen und oft überraschenden Einblick in den Familienbetrieb bietet.
