Aglavaine and Selysette: A Drama in Five Acts is a play written by the Belgian playwright, Maurice Maeterlinck. The play tells the story of a young woman named Selysette who lives in a remote castle with her father and brother. One day, a group of travelers arrive at the castle, including the mysterious Aglavaine, who quickly becomes Selysette's confidante and friend. As the story unfolds, it becomes clear that Aglavaine and Selysette share a deep connection that goes beyond friendship. The play explores themes of love, betrayal, and the search for meaning in life. Maeterlinck's poetic language and vivid imagery create a haunting and dreamlike atmosphere throughout the play. Aglavaine and Selysette is considered one of Maeterlinck's most important works and a masterpiece of Symbolist drama.1897. The Belgian playwright and poet who was awarded in 1911 the Nobel Prize for Literature, Maeterlinck was closely associated with the French literary Symbolism movement. This volume consists of a translation of Maeterlinck's play, Aglavaine and Selysette. It is one of the author's series of plays in which, with continually increasing power and subtlety, he attempts to disengage the inner beauty that lies deep at the heart of life itself.
