Die Aufzeichnungen des Malte Laurids Brigge

The poetic prose creates a deeply personal and philosophical atmosphere. I wonder what personal or literary influences shaped this style.

His observations on city life and his inner turmoil resonated deeply, but also made me wonder if those feelings are timeless or very specific to his era.

Given Rilke's poetic background and personal experiences, I’m curious about how much of his own worldview is embedded in Malte's musings.
