ペレアスとメリザンド
Maeterlinck instantly became a public figure when his first play, "Princess Maleine", received enthusiastic praise from Octave Mirbeau, the literary critic of "Le Figaro", in August 1890. In the following years, he wrote a series of symbolist plays characterized by fatalism and mysticism, most importantly "Intruder" (1890), "The Blind" (1890) and "Pelléas and Mélisande" (1892).
