<div><div>Near the end of his life, the master sculptor Auguste Rodin (1840&#8211;1917) hired the poet Rainer Maria Rilke to serve as his secretary.

Written around a chronology of Rodin&#8217;s work, it is also an introduction to some of the greatest sculpture of the 19th century.&#160;A translation was soon produced by the American poet and artist Jessie Lemont. Unavailable for many years, this translation is reprinted here together with Rilke&#8217;s original illustrations.</div></div>
