Intruz, Pelleas i Melisanda i Ślepcy należą do najwybitniejszych utworów
Maurice'a Maeterlincka, twórcy dramatu symbolicznego. Każda z tych tragedii
wywarła ogromny wpływ na rozwój literatury i sztuki europejskiej oraz
światowej. Ich wspólną cechą jest zamierzone niedookreślenie psychologii
postaci i szkicowe przedstawienie akcji scenicznej, co pozwala skupić całą
uwagę na zaskakującym procesie obnażania umykającego postrzeganiu sensu
zjawisk. Wnikające w ukryte czeluści zdarzeń utwory Maeterlincka wydobywają na
światło dzienne niedopowiedziane prawdy o człowieku i kierujących nim
fundamentalnych pobudkach. Wyrażają równocześnie tajone lęki i bezradność
człowieka wobec tajemnicy przeznaczenia. Przełomowe zarówno pod względem
formalnym, pod względem poruszanych przez siebie tematów, jak i pełnej
tajemniczości atmosfery bliskiej sennym marzeniom, dramaty Maeterlincka są po
dziś dzień niewyczerpanym źródłem inspiracji dla pisarzy, malarzy, muzyków czy
twórców teatralnych. Lektura dla szkół średnich Maurice Maeterlinck (18621949)
belgijski dramaturg, poeta, eseista, pochodzenia flamandzkiego. Dużą
popularność zyskały jego szkice filozoficzno-przyrodnicze Życie pszczół i
Życie termitów.
"Mein Hund" erzählt von der besonderen Freundschaft zwischen dem Schriftsteller Maurice Maeterlinck und seiner Bulldogge Palleas. Der Welpe erkundet neugierig seine Umgebung, trifft auf eine Katze und meistert geschickt die Erziehungsversuche seines Herrchens.
Maurice Maeterlinck – belgijski dramaturg, poeta, eseista, piszący w języku
francuskim, laureat Nagrody Nobla w dziedzinie literatury za rok 1911. Wśród
jego utworów wielką poczytnością cieszyły się znakomite eseje filozoficzno-
przyrodnicze, w których dowiódł talentu wnikliwego obserwatora przyrody i
umiejętności fascynującego jej opisywania. Dziś prezentujemy jego Inteligencję
kwiatów. Ciekawe jest zauważyć, ze po latach wracamy do identycznych
obserwacji jak właśnie Maeterlinck, który pisze o swojej książce tak: Szkic
mój nie ma zgoła aspiracji stania się podręcznikiem. Jedynie pragnę zwrócić
uwagę na kilka interesujących rzeczy, jakie dzieją się tuż obok nas, w tym
samym świecie, gdzie uważamy się z taką pychą za istoty uprzywilejowane. (…)
Geniusz ziemi, będący prawdopodobnie zarazem geniuszem całego świata,
zachowuje się w walce o byt podobnie do człowieka. Stosuje te same metody i
posługuje się tą samą logiką. Osiąga cel środkami, jakich się imamy, idzie po
omacku, waha się, zawraca, zaczyna po kilka razy jedno, dodaje szczegóły,
eliminuje je, poznaje i naprawia błędy. Słowem, robi wszystko, co my byśmy
robi na jego miejscu.

L'Oiseau bleu est un chef-d'œuvre de la littérature mondiale, écrit par Maurice Maeterlinck.

Fascynująca opowieść o życiu pszczół, ich tajemnicach i zwyczajach, przekazana
w przystępnej formie. Autor obserwuje organizację społeczną pszczół, ich
sposób komunikacji, budowę ula oraz procesy reprodukcji. Przybliża rolę
pszczół w przyrodzie i ich znaczenie dla zachowania równowagi ekologicznej. To
znacznie więcej niż analiza naukowa, wyraz podziwu, źródło refleksji i pokory
dla gatunku ludzkiego.
Jde o plagiát knihy jihoafrického přírodovědce a spisovatele Eugena Maraise Duše bílých mravenců (afrikánsky Die siel van die mier), ve kterém Maeterlinck ostudně vydával Maraisovy myšlenky za své.
Po překladu Marie Kalašové z roku 1896 vychází v novém převedení Petra Christova tři Maeterlinckova dramata Vetřelkyně (1890), Slepci (1890) a Nitro (1894). Svazek doplňuje překladatelův obsáhlý esej o životě a díle belgického symbolisty.
Čtyři loutkové hry (Ariana a Modrovous, 1901; Aladina a Palomides, 1894; Smrt Tintagilova, 1894; Sedm princezen, 1891) francouzského spisovatele belgického původu Maurice Maeterlincka a jednoaktovka pro loutky (Udatný Kasián, 1909) rakouského spisovatele Arthura Schnitzlera, kteří milovali loutkové divadlo a dali mu v nich díla vysoce umělecká, dodnes řazená k základním hodnotám loutkového repertoáru pro dospělé diváky. V básnickém jinotaji i přímo hovoří k dnešnímu čtenáři řečí stejně naléhavou a vzrušující jako v letech devadesátých minulého a prvním desetiletí našeho století, kdy vznikly.
Kniha obsahuje Maeterlinckove drámy Slepci, Monna Vanna, Zázrak svätého Antona, Stilmondský starosta a esej Múdrosť a osud. Štúdiu a chronológiu života a diela napísal Michal Bartko. Vyšlo v edícii Vavrín. Prvé vydanie.

Soubor esejistických textů Poklad pokorných francouzsky píšícího belgického dramatika, básníka, esejisty, mystika, filosofa a jednoho ze zakladatelů symbolismu Maurice Maeterlincka (1862-1949) vyšel roku 1896 stejně jako další esejistická kniha věnovaná vegetariánství Pohřbený chrám. Maeterlinck se nejdřív představil jako autor dvou básnických sbírek Skleníky (1889) a Dvanáct písní (1896). Renomé si získal především jako dramatik. Jeho nejčastěji uváděnou hrou je snová férie Modrý pták (1908). Úspěch měla i další hra Pélleas a Mélisanda (1892), kterou rovněž známe z operního ztvárnění Clauda Debussyho nebo v podobě symfonické básně Arnolda Schőnberga. Poklad pokorných otevírá často citovaný text Mlčení, v němž autor staví meditativní ticho proti hlučnosti a zneužívání řeči tak, jak se to děje v moderním, mediálním světě. Následují eseje o probuzení duše, o mystické morálce, o ženách, o každodenní tragice, ale také osobité portréty romantického básníka Novalise nebo amerického panteistického filosofa Emersona. Poklad pokorných vyšel poprvé v edici staroříšského Josefa Floriana, podruhé v Knihách dobrých autorů Kamily Neumannové a potřetí v nakladatelství A. Srdce v Praze. Tento svazek je reedicí druhého vydání Maeterlinckových esejů v překladu Marie Kalašové, která velkou část své překladatelské praxe zasvětila právě tomuto autorovi. Knihu doplňuje esej Jana Suka Před každým dnem šla noc.
