A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Excerpt from Fabre's Book of Insects: Retold From Alexander Teixeira De Mattos Translation of Fabre's "Souvenirs Entomologiques"

From my earliest childhood I have felt drawn towards the things of Nature. It would be ridiculous to suppose that this gift, this love of observing plants and insects, was inherited from my ancestors, who were uneducated people of the soil and observed little but their own cows and sheep. Of my four grandparents only one ever opened a book, and even he was very uncertain about his spelling. Nor do I owe anything to a scientific training. Without masters, without guides, often without books, I have gone forward with one aim always before me: to add a few pages to the history of insects.
