Publisher's Synopsis
The Intelligence of the Flowers is a book written in 1907 by the Belgian playwright, poet, and essayist Maurice Maeterlinck. The book explores the idea that flowers possess a certain intelligence and consciousness that is often overlooked by humans. Maeterlinck argues that flowers have a profound connection to the natural world and are capable of communicating with each other, as well as with other living beings.Throughout the book, Maeterlinck discusses various aspects of flower intelligence, including their ability to adapt to their environment, their use of color and scent to attract pollinators, and their ability to respond to changes in their surroundings. He also delves into the symbolism and mythology surrounding flowers in different cultures and explores the role that flowers have played in human history and culture.The Intelligence of the Flowers is a thought-provoking and insightful book that challenges readers to think differently about the natural world and the role that flowers play in it. Maeterlinck's lyrical prose and poetic descriptions of flowers make this book a delight to read for anyone interested in the beauty and complexity of nature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
