At the same time, this collection, in Stephen Mitchell' s definitive translation, reveals the thoughts and feelings of one of the greatest poets and most distinctive sensibilities of the twentieth century. Eloquent and personal, Rilke' s meditations on the creative process, the nature of love, the wisdom of children, and the importance of solitude offer a wealth of spiritual and practical guidance for anyone. The two never met, but over a period of several years Rilke wrote him these ten letters, which have been cherished by hundreds of thousands of readers for what Stephen Mitchell calls in his Foreword the 'vibrant and deeply felt experience of life' that informs them. Written when the poet was himself still a young man, with most of his greatest work before him, they were addressed to a student who had sent Rilke some of his own writing, asking for advice on becoming a writer. Rilke' s Letters to a Young Poet are arguably the most famous and beloved letters of the twentieth century. He also runs masterclasses on book promotion for The Guardian newspaper.

He therefore concocts an elaborate ruse with Salvo, the kind of policeman with whom he knows he can do business, so that it appears as if he has been captured in a heroic gun battle. THE TERRACOTTA DOG begins with an old Mafioso, Tano the Greek (who is no more Greek than Salvo), unable to cope with the impersonal, modern criminal style, wants to retire - yet keep his face. In later books, these relationships and characters develop, providing even more depth and joy to a delightful reading paradise. There is also much rivalry between Salvo and his second in command Mimi Augello, and others in the team are little more than occasional players. In THE TERRACOTTA DOG, chronologically the second book, the hilariously linguistically challenged Catarella has been foisted on Salvo Montalbano's team of detectives by his nepotistic connections - although the baby-like, overenthusiastic man himself seems to be entirely innocent of this fact. No matter (though the publishers could have helped by noting the order).

She is an independent woman and shows her badass side in the various fight scenes, but she also shows her vulnerable and broken side as she’s still coping with the loss of her brother.
