Reviews
"...a wonderfully enjoyable, insightful and worthwhile read ... This work would be of interest to anyone excited by the remarkable process of the plant world and would expressly appeal to gardeners and flower growers." -- Huntia "A rare gem, written ... in lyrical and accessible prose." -- The Times Literary Supplement "...Maeterlinck is a seductive essayist ... [and] writes with the same intrinsic humility that will be familiar to admirers of John Muir, Aldo Leopold, or Mary Oliver." -- The Boston Globe "That the intelligence of flowers provides Maeterlinck with a theory riddled with contradictions--mostly as a result of his metaphoric reasoning--seems less important than the fundamental truths of the metaphors unto themselves. As a result, 'The Intelligence of Flowers' is happily welcome once more, in this centenary reissue." -- San Francisco Chronicle "The republication of Maurice Maeterlinck's 'The Intelligence of Flowers,' regrettably forgotten in our time, is long overdue. The introduction by Mosley is itself a gem, and contains one of the best overviews in print of writings about intelligence in Nature." -- Stephen Harrod Buhner, author of The Secret Teachings of Plants: The Intelligence of the Heart in the Direct Perception of Nature

Acknowledgments Introduction The Intelligence of Flowers Scents On the Publication History of Maeterlinck's Botanical Essays Select Bibliography
Synopsis
A new translation of one of Maeterlinck's four great nature essays. Winner of the 2008 Prix de la Traduction Littéraire presented by French Community of Belgium The second of Maeterlinck's four celebrated nature essays-along with those on the life of the bee, ant, and termite-"The Intelligence of Flowers" (1907) represents his impassioned attempt to popularize scientific knowledge for an international audience. Writing with characteristic eloquence, Maeterlinck asserts that flowers possess the power of thought without knowledge, a capacity that constitutes a form of intelligence. Appearing one hundred years after the first publication, Philip Mosley's new translation of the original French essay, and the related essay "Scents," maintains the verve of Maeterlinck's prose and renders it accessible to the present-day reader. This is a book for those who are excited by creative encounters between literature and science as well as current debates on the relationship of humankind to the natural world., Winner of the 2008 Prix de la Traduction Littéraire presented by French Community of Belgium The second of Maeterlinck's four celebrated nature essays--along with those on the life of the bee, ant, and termite--"The Intelligence of Flowers" (1907) represents his impassioned attempt to popularize scientific knowledge for an international audience.
