The publication of this comprehensive, well-translated, superbly edited and annotated edition is a major event in art book publishing. --Publishers Weekly An individual history so potently expressive of a wider general condition that the life assumes the proportions of a monument or of a significant work of art. . . . [The book's] appeal is in the quintessentially human dilemma it poses, which any reader must share. Paula Modersohn-Becker's letters and journals present us with a stunning insight into a struggle of intense interest for her time and for our own. --New York Times Book Review
