Maurice Maeterlinck - Belgian playwright, poet, essayist, writing in French, winner of the Nobel Prize in literature for 1911. From 1881 to 1885 he studied law at the University of Ghent. During World War I he fought against Germany in the field of propaganda. He was a founder and member of the Royal Academy of French Language and Literature in Belgium, and was president of the international PEN Club from 1947 to 1949. Maeterlinck is known primarily as a creator of symbolist drama. His philosophical and naturalistic essays, in which he proved his talent as a keen observer of nature and his ability to describe it in a fascinating way, enjoyed great readership: "The Life of Bees," "The Intelligence of Flowers," "The Life of Termites" and "The Life of Ants."
