About this book
Satire is the keynote of this one-act play by Maurice Maeterlinck, set in a small Flemish provincial town. Its cast includes Saint Anthony, a doctor, a rector, a commissary of police, and a houseful of relatives and guests.
Alexander Teixeira de Mattos translated it in 1918 and notes that it was written ten or twelve years earlier and never published or staged in the original. In his introduction Arthur Bartlett Maurice contrasts it with the author's early plays, which are set in a land of illusion, and points to its grey Flemish atmosphere and its irony.
