Pelleas and Melisand; and, The Sightless; two Plays

This volume presents two significant plays by Maurice Maeterlinck, a Nobel laureate renowned for his contributions to Symbolist drama: "Pelleas and Melisande" and "The Sightless."

"Pelleas and Melisande", a tragic love story set in a mystical, dreamlike world, explores themes of fate, forbidden love, and the destructive power of jealousy. Its ethereal atmosphere and evocative language have made it a lasting masterpiece, inspiring numerous musical and operatic adaptations.

"The Sightless" delves into the anxieties and uncertainties of a group of blind individuals lost in a forest, grappling with their vulnerability and dependence on one another. Maeterlinck's poignant portrayal of human fragility and the search for meaning in the face of adversity resonates deeply.
