"A great scientist who thinks like a philosopher, sees like an artist, feels and expresses himself like a poet" is how Jean Rostand described Fabre. And in his Souvenirs entomologiques, the author delivers a marvel of observation and narration that makes you want to lie down in the grass to follow the adventures of the green grasshopper or the praying mantis. The majesty of the Great Night Peacock, the song of the cicada, the larva of the capricorn: the habits and customs of these little creatures are revealed to us here with a detailed and humorous magnifying glass. Some spread their wings to meet the desired one, others sing naively, while still others, much more terrible, devour each other. A whole universe as fascinating as it is frightening.
