Book Overview
Sister Beatrice, And Ardiane And Barbe Blue: Two Plays is a collection of two plays written by the Belgian playwright Maurice Maeterlinck. The first play, Sister Beatrice, is a tragedy set in a convent. It tells the story of a nun who is forced to choose between her love for a young nobleman and her religious vows. The second play, Ardiane And Barbe Blue, is a fairy tale about a princess who is kidnapped by a bluebeard-like figure and saved by her lover. Both plays explore themes of love, duty, and sacrifice, and are written in Maeterlinck's signature symbolist style. Originally published in 1901, this edition features a new introduction by the translator, Richard Hovey.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
