Bøger af Maurice Maeterlinck

Blomsternes intelligens er den belgiske forfatter og dramatiker Maurice Maeterlincks fascinerende skildring af blomsternes hemmelige liv. Årtier inden Peter Tompkins Planternes hemmelige liv og Peter Wohllebens Træernes hemmelige liv, der i dag vel bedst kan beskrives som nyklassikere, beskriver nobelprismodtageren med en digters sensibilitet og iagttagelsesevne, hvordan blomster kommunikerer, formerer og gebærder sig i naturens levende miljø. Baseret på konkrete iagttagelser viser Maeterlinck en verden gennemsyret af intelligens og intention. I den nuværende planetariske situation har Maeterlincks klassiske værk fået ny aktualitet og tilbyder et uforglemmeligt billede af naturens dybe skønhed og vitalitet. Bogen indeholder også de to essays Glasedderkoppen og Dufte. Den belgiske digter, dramatiker og essayist Maurice Maeterlinck (1862-1949) var i starten af det 20. århundrede en af Europas mest indflydelsesrige forfattere og havde en stor betydning for blandt andre Thomas Mann, Rainer Maria Rilke, André Breton og Antonin Artaud. Til hans mest kendte værker hører de symbolistiske dramaer De blinde (1890), Pelléas og Melisande (1893) og Borgmesteren i Stilemonde (1918). Hans værker er også ofte blevet sat til musik af blandt andre Claude Debussy, Arnold Schönberg og Jean Sibelius. Ved siden af det store lyriske forfatterskab, som i 1911 indbragte ham nobelprisen i litteratur, skrev han en lang række essays, blandt andet om natur, insekter og intelligensen i alt levende. Til disse hører Blomsternes intelligens (1907) og trilogien: Biernes liv (1901), Termitternes liv (1927) og Myrernes liv (1930).

The Nobel Prize winner offers brilliant proof 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.

Med Myrernes liv afslutter den belgiske forfatter og nobelprismodtager Maurice Maeterlinck sin berømte trilogi om insekternes verden. I denne bog tages læseren med ind i myrernes kolossale samfund, hvor komplekse kommunikationssystemer, avanceret arkitektur og en altoverskyggende selvopofrelse kendetegner de små væseners liv.Med både vid og undren undersøger han myrernes unikke intelligens og de tilsyneladende uforklarlige instinkter, der styrer dem – og stiller spørgsmål ved vores egen plads i naturens store fællesskab.Bogen tilbyder et nyt perspektiv på en skjult verden, som vi ellers sjældent bemærker, men som findes lige under fødderne på os.Om Blomsternes intelligens skrev anmelderne:“På sin egen poetiske vis revolutionær læsning.” – Kristeligt Dagblad“Et særdeles poetisk, dragende og lærerigt værk.” – Dagbladet Information

I Termitternes liv dykker den belgiske forfatter og nobelprismodtager Maurice Maeterlinck ned i en af naturens mest gådefulde og komplekse samfund: termitternes verden. Med skarp iagtta­gelsesevne og filosofisk indsigt beskriver han de fascinerende strukturer og fællesskaber, som disse små væsener skaber.Bogen udforsker, hvordan termitter organiserer sig, kommunikerer og overlever i et komplekst system af total samhørighed, der på en næsten mystisk måde spejler menneskelige samfund.Termitternes liv blander en videnskabelig afsøg­ning med litterær ekvilebrisme, men også med en vidtgående refleksion over naturens intelligens og de mysterier, der gemmer sig i livets mindste skabninger - og i mennesket selv.Om Blomsternes intelligens skrev anmelderne:“På sin egen poetiske vis revolutionær læsning.” – Kristeligt Dagblad“Et særdeles poetisk, dragende og lærerigt værk.” – Dagbladet InformationMed efterord af Philip Mosley.

Biernes liv er den første bog i nobelprismodtageren Maurice Maeterlincks trilogi om insekters leve­vis. Bogen er ikke en videnskabelig afhandling om bier, men snarere en litterær, entusiastisk gennem­gang af biernes liv, samarbejde og cyklusser.Læseren føres gennem livet i og uden for bikuben og hører i detaljer om biernes komplekse organi­sering og mange arbejdsopgaver. Livet i bikuben er både smukt og barskt, og Maeterlinck viser med stor omhu at bierne, ligesom mennesket, er intel­ligente væsner, som ikke alene er styret af deres instinkter, men er i stand til at tage ved lære af deres omgivelser og udvikle sig.Om Blomsternes intelligens skrev anmelderne:“På sin egen poetiske vis revolutionær læsning.” – Kristeligt Dagblad“Et særdeles poetisk, dragende og lærerigt værk.” – Dagbladet Information
