The Plays Of Maurice Maeterlinck

The Plays of Maurice Maeterlinck is a collection of three plays by Belgian playwright Maurice Maeterlinck. The first play, Alladine and Palomides, tells the story of a princess who is pursued by a knight and a young man who is in love with her. The second play, Pelleas and Melisande, is a tragic love story about a prince who falls in love with a mysterious woman he finds in a forest. The third play, Home and the Death of Tintagiles, is a dark and haunting tale about a young prince who is kept prisoner in his own castle by his cruel and manipulative family. Maeterlinck's plays are known for their dreamlike quality and use of symbol and metaphor to explore themes of love, death, and the human condition. This collection offers a fascinating glimpse into the work of one of the most influential playwrights of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
