5.0 out of 5 stars Inspiring, Original and Enchanting, June 26, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Blue Bird and the Betrothal (Paperback)

This book has inspired much of my own art, music and writings and is an endless source of wonder. I first learned about it while reading a book about rare silent films. To my knowledge, the original silent film is so rare, there is only one copy in a vault somewhere... but the beauty of Maeterlinck's writings stay with you forever... and on into eternity as he had intended. One of the most imaginative writers of this century.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fantasía, February 7, 2000

By 

Cynthia Mizrahi (México) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Blue Bird and the Betrothal (Hardcover)

Ésta es una obra que incorpora fantasía y moralidad entretejido. Gocé de los mundos, de las hadas, de la vida y de las realidades de la muerte que provocan la mente para explorar mi propia interpretación. Percibí la profundidad y la emoción de las experiencias de los niños en la prueba dura de encontrar el pájaro azul que todos esencialmente buscamos.

Yo creo que el género de esta obra es una pieza didáctica, porque no es realista (azúcar, pan, fuego etc... que hablan y se mueven) pero su estructuración es lógica (si fueran personas sería lógico). En mí creo cierta toma de conciencia y puede darme cuenta que el pájaro azul es una alegoría de una necesidad que todos llevamos dentro.
