Softbound 10x7 inch blank white wraps in a decorated wrapper issued further with an isinglass sur-wrap which we have discarded see below why. No.385 of a run of 500 of 650 top and tail rims a little worn but a very nice copy except for the darn isinglass or glasscine which was very darkened from acidity brittle with splits and chips and had also picked up a small stain lower corner. The decorated wrapper was definitely affected beneath it-- both covers are hazily toned. Corner-tips are a little turned else sound clean and unmarked a good to very good copy. Maurice Ray's contributions are leafy motifs restrained human figures mildly sexy and the slaying of a pretty tiger. Prose text: we believe it to be from Bonniot's intro; our French is poor an ms that Mallarme squirreled away in 1876 inspired by an introduction he wrote then for Beckford's Vathek. L.

Ink stamp on front paste-down endpaper and on rear free endpaper ink note on front free endpaper. 427 pp. 8vo. Green cloth with blind-stamped floral design gilt titles top edge gilt. "In an exuberantly poetic work that is less about bees and more about life Maurice Maeterlinck expresses his philosophy of the human condition. The renowned Belgian poet and dramatist offers brilliant proof in this his most popular work that "no living creature not even man has achieved in the center of his sphere what the bee has achieved." From their amazingly intricate feats of architecture to their intrinsic sense of self-sacrifice Maeterlinck takes a "bee's-eye view" of the most orderly society on Earth. An enthusiastic and expert beekeeper Maeterlinck did not intend to write a scientific treatise even though he details such topics as the mathematically accurate construction of the hive the division of labor among community members the life of the young queen and her miraculous nuptial flight and the movement and meaning of the swarm. An enchanting classic by one of the most important figures of world literature in the twentieth century and winner of the 1911 Nobel Prize in Literature this fascinating study is a magnificent tribute to one of the most orderly communities in the world. It is also filled with humble lessons for the human race. Dodd, Mead and Company hardcover books

White endpapers with small black floral vignette all edges uncut. Mild soiling to cloth spine very slightly darkened small stain at upper edge of rear cover. Otherwise a very good copy internally crisp and clean. Partially unopened. Collating x 181 1 printer's imprint 1 publisher's device 1 blank and including twenty mounted color plates including frontispiece.<br/><br/>Belgian poetic dramatist and essayist Maurice Maeterlinck 1862-1949 "wrote in French establishing himself as one of the leading figures in the symbolist movement with his play La Princesse Maleine 1889; English trans. 1892. In 1892 Pelléas et Mélisande appeared trans. 1894 the work for which he is now chiefly remembered and the source of Debussy's opera of the same name 1902. He also achieved great contemporary popularity with L'Oiseau bleu 1908; The Blue Bird 1909 and was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1911. He drew heavily on traditions of romance and fairy tale and the characteristic tone of much of his drama is one of doom-laden mystery and timeless melancholy. He also produced a number of essays of a philosophical nature including La Vie des abeilles 1901; The Life of the Bee 1901 and L'Intelligence des fleurs 1907; The Intelligence of Flowers 1907" OCEL. <br/><br/>It was fitting for the illustrator to take up this work. After the tragic death of his twin brother and collaborator Edward Detmold concentrated his talents on books primarily of flowers and animals: "Detmold's finest plates are those produced for The Fables of Aesop 1909 The Life of the Bee 1911 and Hours of Gladness 1912 the latter with texts after Maurice Maeterlinck the Belgian poet naturalist and mystic.A painting of chrysanthemums contained in Hours of Gladness is a glorious acknowledgement of the artist's debt to William Morris and Burne-Jones" Larkin.<br/><br/>Houfe 283.

Octavo cloth backed illustrated boards hardcover gilt letters tissue-protected frontis. uncut 144 pp. Very Good with age darkened covers; binding tight and text clean. From Theatre Database: In Monna Vanna Maurice Maeterlinck gives a wonderful picture of the new woman -- not the new woman as portrayed in the newspapers but the new woman as a reborn regenerated spirit; the woman who has emancipated herself from her narrow outlook upon life and detached herself from the confines of the home; the woman short who has become race-conscious and therefore understands that she is a unit in the great ocean of life and that she must take her place as an independent factor in order to rebuilt and remold life. In proportion as she learns to become race-conscious does she become a factor in the reconstruction of society valuable to herself to her children and to the race.
