梅特林克

Maurice Maeterlinck was a Belgian francophone writer, poet, and playwright, winner of the 1911 Nobel Prize in Literature and one of the representative figures of Symbolist drama. He was skilled at using allegorical imagination, a quiet and mysterious atmosphere, and concise dialogue to explore themes such as life, death, happiness, and fate. The collection here includes three of his works. The Blue Bird was originally a fairy-tale play, using two children's journey in search of the blue bird to reflect on happiness, and later became widely known as a fairy tale. The Hospice, a sequel to Dai Wangshu's translated works, offers a glimpse of how his writings were introduced to Chinese readers. The Republican-Era Rediscovered Classics Series is a set of compiled classics of foreign literature. Public information is limited, so biographical details are omitted, with emphasis placed on his subjects and influence.
