Maurice Maeterlinck

Translated by Alexander Teixeira de Mattos

The Wrack of the Storm is a collection of essays by Maurice Maeterlinck, written during World War I, that reflects on the war's impact on Belgium and the broader themes of nationalism and morality. The essays explore the sacrifices made by individuals and nations, emphasizing the collective heroism and resilience of the Belgian people amidst the devastation of the invasion. Maeterlinck's preface expresses his sorrow over the necessity of invoking hate in his writings, while the subsequent essays document the bravery of figures like King Albert and the enduring spirit of humanity in times of crisis.
