Contents include: "Maurice Maeterlinck", "Introduction", and "Wisdom and Destiny". This interesting examination of the ideas of wisdom and destiny would make for a worthy addition to any bookshelf and is not to be missed by fans and collectors of Maeterlinck's seminal work. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a biographical essay by Jethro Bithell.
