The Treasure of the Humble - Maurice Maeterlinck - Bog

The Treasure of the Humble is a collection of philosophical essays by Belgian playwright and essayist Maurice Maeterlinck. Originally published in French in 1896, the book explores the concept of the ""humble"" and their place in the world. Maeterlinck argues that the humble, or those who are often overlooked or undervalued, possess a unique and valuable perspective on life. He examines the role of humility in society and the importance of recognizing and appreciating the simple things in life. The book is divided into seven essays, each exploring a different aspect of the humble, from their connection to nature to their relationship with the divine. The Treasure of the Humble is a thought-provoking and insightful work that challenges readers to reconsider their own values and perspectives.1903. With Introduction by A.B. Walkley.
