Maurice Maeterlinck

Maurice Maeterlinck (1862–1949), Belgian playwright and Nobel laureate, wrote in French of death, destiny, and the secret life of ordinary things. The Blue Bird sent children searching for happiness; The Life of the Bee turned natural history into philosophy. His Symbolist dramas made silence and suggestion do the work of plot. Maeterlinck's 10 titles in our catalogue show a writer equally at home in fairy play, essay, and the strange dignity of the hive.
