Sinilind L'oiseau bleu. Translated by Marie Under
Tartu: Odamees 1918. Octavo 18 Ã 14.2 cm. Original pictorial wrappers by Ado Vabbe; 213 pp. Good or better; wrappers lightly creased; spine extremities torn. First Estonian translation of Maeterlinck's 1908 play "The Blue Bird" "L'oiseau bleu" and one of the earliest appearances of the Belgian Symbolist writer in Estonian. Translated by Marie Under 1883-1980 the Estonian writer and literary organizer who established the "Siuru" group a gathering of Bohemian spirits whose work emphasized sensual experience and joyous optimism. The group played a key role in Estonian modernist literary life; it took its name from the mythological fire bird "Siuru" of the Estonian national epic "Kalevipoeg". The wrappers were illustrated by Ado Vabbe 1892-1961 one of the most significant Estonian painters and graphic designers. Vabbe helped introduce modernist tendencies into Estonian art and was one of the founders of the "Pallas" union of artists as well as the art school by the same name which helped train a new generation of Estonian artists in the 1920s. Prior to returning to Tartu he studied in Munich where he came in contact with members of the Blaue Reiter Group such as Wassily Kandinsky visited important Western art collections and met representatives of both Italian and Russian Futurism. Curiously the publication still features a censorship approval note printed below the publisher on the title page: "Zur Verbreitung und zur Ausfuhr zugelassen. Presse-Abteilung A. O. K. 8." Rare; Not located in KVK OCLC. unknown books

THE LIFE OF SPACE . Translated by Bernard Miall
New York: Dodd 1928. Octavo pp. 1-6 1-2 3-194 title page printed in green and black original green cloth stamped in gold and blind. First U.S. edition. Maurice Polydore Marie Bernard Maeterlinck 1862-1949 "was a Belgian playwright poet and essayist . He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1911 'in appreciation of his many-sided literary activities and especially of his dramatic works which are distinguished by a wealth of imagination and by a poetic fancy which reveals sometimes in the guise of a fairy tale a deep inspiration while in a mysterious way they appeal to the readers' own feelings and stimulate their imaginations.' The main themes in his work are death and the meaning of life. His plays form an important part of the Symbolist movement." In this nonfiction metaphysical work Maeterlinck advances his theory that beings whose excess dimensions render them invisible to us come from hyper-space to mingle in our atmosphere and exert an occult influence on our life and death. A fine copy in very good pictorial dust jacket priced $2.50 on the front flap with closed tears and shallow chipping along top and bottom edges. #159146 Dodd unknown books

Monna Vanna A Play in Three Acts. Translated by Alexis Irenee De Pont Coleman.
New York: Harper & Brothers Publishers MCMV 1905. 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.

Front cover lettered in gilt with floral decorations in yellow brown and gray after a design by Detmold signed E.J.D. at lower right back cover with a similar floral decorations in yellow brown and gray spine stamped and lettered in gilt. 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.

Maeterlinck Maurice; Sutro Alfred
The Life of the Bee
New York: Dodd Mead and Company 1902. Hard Cover. Very Good/No Jacket. 1902 printing. No jacket. 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
