About this book
Late August 1914, a small town in Belgian Flanders, and a single day: Maeterlinck's play runs from ten in the morning to seven in the evening across three acts. A wounded soldier, Jean Gilson, comes to the study of Cyrille van Belle, the sixty-year-old burgomaster, and warns that German troops will arrive before the morning is out. The burgomaster is a keen gardener whose study doubles as a laboratory, and his daughter's husband is a German lieutenant, Otto Hilmer. Translated by Alexander Teixeira de Mattos.
