Moris Meterlink - potri͡asai͡ushchiĭ, peredovoĭ belʹgiĭskiĭ dramaturg. Bolʹshinstvo znai͡ut ego s detstva po znamenitoĭ "Sineĭ ptit͡se", no mnogie drugie tainstvennye, simvolicheskie pʹesy takzhe zasluzhivai͡ut vnimanii͡a. Vse tvort͡sy Serebri͡anogo veka obozhali Meterlinka za ego mrachnye si͡uzhety, v kotorykh geroi zakovany v shopengauėrskui͡u nepoznavaemostʹ mira. K postanovke v Rossii Meterlinka sovetoval Chekhov, a Stanislavskiĭ otmechal: "Vperedi, krome Meterlinka, net ni odnoĭ interesnoĭ novinki". V sbornik voshli perevody N. Minskogo i L. Vilʹkinoĭ takikh pʹes, kak "Aglavena i Selizetta", "Slepye", "Chudo svi͡atogo Antonii͡a" i drugie.

Maurice Maeterlinck is a terrific, cutting—edge Belgian playwright. Most people have known him since childhood from the famous "Blue Bird", but many other mysterious, symbolic plays also deserve attention. All the creators of the Silver Age adored Maeterlinck for his dark plots in which the characters are chained in the Schopenhauerian unknowability of the world. Chekhov advised the production of Maeterlinck in Russia, and Stanislavsky noted: "There is not a single interesting novelty ahead, except for Maeterlinck." The collection includes translations by N. Minsky and L. Vilkina of such plays as "Aglavena and Selisetta", "The Blind", "The Miracle of St. Anthony" and others.
