Hailed as the "Belgian Shakespeare," Maeterlinck was interested in literature from a young age. Following his father's wishes, he completed his law studies in Belgium before moving to Paris, France, to officially pursue his writing. His works are known for their delicate emotions and exploration of life. The fantastical play "The Blue Bird" caused a sensation upon its release. With a fresh, fairytale-like style, it contains clever metaphors, profound life philosophies, and wisdom, making it a theatrical classic. It was later published as a book, adapted into a fairytale in 1908, allowing more readers to realize that the "happiness" symbolized by the blue bird is all around us, and that helping others selflessly is the true meaning of happiness.
