Reading with bestselling author Lena Johannson
"Clara and Rilke - a love between words and colors"
A love as moving as Rike's verses. When the idolized poet Rainer Maria Rilke sees the young sculptor Clara Westhoff for the first time, he is enraptured: by her beauty, her assertiveness, her passion for art. When Clara hears a poem from his mouth for the first time, she falls for him - against her better judgment. Rilke is considered unstable and is also courting her friend and painter Paula Becker. Nevertheless, an intense love develops between the two, which not only defies all conventions, but also provides inspiration for some of the most beautiful love poems to this day.
Bestselling author Lena Johannson provides exciting insights into the Worpswede artists' colony and tells the story of a special love.
