Originally published in 1907. This little volume presents M. Maeterlinck in a new character, not as a dramatist, but as a philosopher and an aesthetician. It is some sort of an 'apology' for his theatre. He visualises and synthetises his ideas of life and seems most anxious to share these thoughts with the reader.
