The Entomology is a masterpiece handed down from ancient times by Fabres, an outstanding French entomologist and writer. It is also an immortal work, not only a literary masterpiece, but also a scientific encyclopedia. It is a fusion of the author's lifelong research achievements and life experience. It looks at the insect nature with human nature, and turns the insect world into a beautiful article for human beings to acquire knowledge, interest, beauty and thoughts. This book is based on the principle of being faithful to the overall style and expression characteristics of the French original, so that readers in China can appreciate the true face of Insects for the first time. It is a miracle that a person spends his whole life observing and studying "bugs"; It is a miracle that a person has written ten volumes of books for "bugs" all his life. And these books about "bugs" are actually reprinted in one edition, which have been translated into more than 51 languages. Until a hundred years later, they will cause a sensation again and again in the reading world, which is a miracle among miracles. The creator of these miracles is Fabres, the author of Entomology. Fabres has "thinking as a philosopher, looking as an artist and feeling and writing as a writer". In this book, the author combines professional knowledge with life sentiment, and expresses his unique vision of life in the description of an insect, daily life habits and characteristics. Between the lines is filled with the author's own respect and love for life. The publication of this book is regarded as the birth of animal psychology. Insect Tale is not only a scientific masterpiece on insects, but also a magnificent poem to eulogize life, and Fabres won the titles of "Poet of Science", "Homer of Insects" and "Virgil of the Insect World". Human beings are not an isolated existence. All life on the earth, including spiders, wasps, scorpions and weevils, are in the same closely related system. Insects are also an indispensable link in the biological chain of the earth, and their lives should also be respected. Entomology is indeed a miracle. It is a movement of life composed by Fabres, an outstanding representative of mankind, and many ordinary people in nature, insects, and a book that can never be read. Such a miracle, at the critical moment when mankind is about to enter the new century and the earth is about to usher in the ecological era, may provide us with more precious enlightenment. The theme of the work Insect is not only filled with awe of life, but also contains some spirit. That kind of spirit is seeking truth, that is, pursuing the truth and exploring the truth. This is the spirit of Faber. If there is no such spirit, there will be no Entomology, and a fruit of wisdom will be missing from the tree of human spirit. The work influenced Fabres to write Insect Tale with a brilliant pen, which is famous all over the world. This masterpiece has its place in the history of French natural science and literature. This masterpiece expresses the wonderful and amazing spirituality of insects in their struggle for survival. Fabres recorded his achievements and experiences in insect research all his life in the form of most essays, carefully observed the life of insects and the struggle for life and reproduction of races, guided the vast evidence of natural science with humanistic spirit, and made the insect world a literary form for human beings to acquire knowledge, interest, beauty and thoughts, and wrote the topic of small insects into a masterpiece with multi-level meaning and all-round value. Such works are truly unprecedented in the world. No entomologist has such a brilliant literary expression ability, and no writer has such profound entomological attainments. The author of Entomology was praised as "the founder of animal psychology" by French and international academic circles at that time. In his later years, Fabres published the last few volumes of Insect Tale, which won him many readers not only in France, but also in European countries and all over the world. Literature then respectfully called him "Virgil of the insect world", and French academic and literary circles recommended Fabres as the candidate of Nobel Prize in Literature. Unfortunately, before the Nobel Committee made up its mind to award him this grand prize, the great poet who praised insects had died in his eyes. Entomology has been translated into many languages and published. He is known as the "Insect Poet", and a large number of his works have been translated and published in China. "Insect Tale" is a book written by Fabres, who spent his whole life observing the life of insects and their struggle for life and reproduction, and then recording his observations in detailed and exact notes. Ten volumes of Insects, each containing several chapters, each chapter describes the life of one or several insects in detail and profoundly: spiders, bees, mantis, scorpions and cicadas.

Kz=132699136 "Insect Story" After reading "Insect Story", this book fascinated me very much. It turns out that there are so many mysteries in the insect world, and I know: how cicadas shed their shells in the early morning; The dung beetle belongs to how i roll dung ball; How ants eat aphid secretions. It is also clear that "the son of the borer" is wrong. Bees catch caterpillars not as their own sons, but to arrange food for their offspring. The first time I read Insects, somehow it attracted me. This is a popular science book describing the birth, labor, hunting and death of insects, with plain words, fresh and natural; Humorous narration makes people laugh ... Humanized bugs come on stage, what a strange and interesting story! Fabres's "Insect Tale" made me feel dreamy. Those specific and detailed words made me feel the existence of magnifying glass, humidity, stars and the smell of insects from time to time, as if I were at the scene. The figures of insects that I have neglected for too long, and their arrogant chirping, suddenly gathered, I held my breath, and then, with them, I penetrated the darkness of my heart. It was Fabres who showed me that insects are strikingly similar to us in many issues, such as life and death, labor and plunder. Entomology is not a world created by writers, it is different from novels, they are the most basic facts! It is the loneliness and hardship of Fabres's life every day and every night, which is lonely, quiet and almost isolated from the world. I looked up. At this moment, I really want to look up at my head and treat the mystery of insects as if I were looking up at the starry sky. It made me enter a vivid insect world for the first time. So, I went on to read Insects. Then look down, "Insect Story" is an interesting story: "Mantis is a very ferocious animal, but in the early days of its life, it will also be sacrificed by the smallest ant." Spiders weave webs. "Even with tools like compasses and rulers, no designer can draw a more standardized web." The rich story makes me think. Watching, these bugs gradually became clear, and I thought: If we protect the environment and don't pollute it, will these bugs still exist? Now the environment is deteriorating, will it happen again in the future? I carefully thought about the relationship between them, and this time reading, Insect Story opened a brand-new door for me. When I continued to read Insects, I saw Fabres observing the caterpillar's travel in detail, I saw him catching wasps regardless of the danger, I saw him boldly assuming, carefully experimenting, and repeatedly scrutinizing the experimental process and data, inferring step by step the action time and effect of the high-nose bee venom needle, the predation process of fireflies, the method of catching fly bees to deal with their prey, and the long-distance contact of peacock moths ... An experiment failed, and he collected data and analyzed the reasons. Rigorous experimental methods, bold questioning spirit and diligent style. This time, I felt the "scientific spirit" and its profound connotation. Fabres, an entomologist, took care of insects with human nature, and painstakingly wrote the masterpiece Insects, leaving a prose treasure rich in knowledge, interest, beauty and thoughts. Its writing is lively, its tone is relaxed and humorous, and it is full of interest. In the author's pen, the willow beetle looks like a miser, wearing a short dovetail dress that seems to be "short of cloth"; The little beetle "made selfless dedication to its offspring and broke its heart for its children"; The little sparrow bitten by a poisonous spider will also "eat happily, and if we feed slowly, he will even cry like a baby". What a lovely little spirit! No wonder Lu Xun regarded Insects as a model of "talking about insect life". I admire Fabres's spirit of exploring nature, which makes me feel that insects are closely related to the environment, and also makes me feel the author's originality and subtle observation. Entomology has broadened my horizons, made me look at the problem from a different angle, and made me understand the problem in a deeper way than before. I think "Insect Tale" is a good book worth reading all my life. I think anyone who reads "Insect Tale" carefully will certainly know more. Author's brief introduction On February 22nd, 1823, Jean-Henri Casimir Fabre was a French entomologist, animal behaviorist and writer. Born in Provence, France, a farmer in the village of Saint Rehn. In the following years, Fabres spent time in the home of his grandparents in Malaval, not far from the village. At that time, he was attracted by the lovely insects such as butterflies and slugs in the countryside. In 1829, Fabres returned to St. Rennes to start school, but that childhood has been deeply engraved in his heart. In 1833, the Fabres family came to rodez, and their father made a living by running a coffee shop. In 1837, the family moved to Toulouse. Fabres entered the seminary in Toulouse, but dropped out of school, went out to make a living, worked on the railway and sold lemons in the market. Later, he passed the selection examination of avignon Normal School, won a scholarship, and obtained a diploma from an institution of higher learning after three years of study. After graduation, Fabres, then 19 years old, began his teaching career in Cabentra, and the course he taught was the history of natural science. In 1849, he was appointed as a physics teacher in ajaccio, Corsica. The beautiful natural scenery and rich species on the island ignited his enthusiasm for studying plants and animals. Lequien, a botanist in avignon, taught him his knowledge. After that, he followed Mocan-Tang Tong to collect flowers and plants everywhere. This knowledgeable mentor laid a solid foundation for Fabres to become a naturalist and embark on the road of scientific research. In 1853, Fabres returned to the French mainland, was employed by a school in avignon, and moved his family into a simple house in Dyer Street in St-Dominique. In 1857, he published "Observation on the Habits of the Arthropoda", which corrected the wrong view of Leon dufour, the founder of entomology at that time, and thus won the praise of the French Institute and was awarded the Experimental Physiology Award. During this period, Fabres also devoted his energy to the study of natural dye madder or alizarin. At that time, the red color on French soldiers' army trousers came from madder powder. In 1861, Fabres obtained three patents for this kind of research. Later, at the invitation of Victor Duluy, Minister of Education, Fabres was in charge of the organization and teaching of an adult night school, but its free teaching method caused some people's dissatisfaction. So, he quit his job and settled down in Orange with his family, and lived there for more than ten years. In this more than ten years, Fabres completed the first volume of the ten-volume Insect. During this period, he went to Wandu Mountain with his friends many times to collect plant specimens. In addition, he also met the British philosopher Mill, but Mill died young, which made their previous plan "Vakruz Vegetation Grand View" die. At the same time, a great misfortune befell Fabres: he had six children, among whom Jules, the only son who shared his father's interests and loved observing nature, died at the age of sixteen. Since then, Fabres has dedicated several plants he discovered to Jules who died young to express his memory. The study of fungi has always been one of Fabres's hobbies. In 1878, he wrote many wonderful academic articles on the theme of Vacruzzi's fungi. His research on Kuai Zi is also very detailed, and his fragrance is described in detail. Gourmets claim that they can taste all the flavors described in his works from the real Kuai Zi. In 1879, Fabres bought the barren stone garden in Ang, Cellini [font color=#111111] and lived there until his death. This is a barren land, but it is a favorite land for insects. Apart from living for his family, there are also his study, studio and testing ground, which can make him concentrate on thinking quietly and devote himself wholeheartedly to various observations and experiments. It can be said that this is the world he has always dreamed of. It was here that Fabres, while observing and experimenting, sorted out the observation notes, experimental records and scientific notes on insects in the first half of his life, and completed the last nine volumes of Insects. Today, this former residence has become a museum, quietly located in a botanical garden with a strong Provencal style. [/font] Fabres persisted in self-study all his life, and successively obtained a bachelor's degree, a bachelor's degree in mathematics, a bachelor's degree in natural science and a doctor's degree in natural science. He was proficient in Latin and Greek and loved the works of Horace, an ancient Roman writer, and Virgil, a poet. He was almost self-taught in painting and watercolor painting, and many exquisite illustrations of fungi left by him were praised by Nobel Prize in Literature winner and French poet Frederic mistral. In his later years, Fabres's success in Insects won him the reputation of "Homer of Insects" and "Poet of Science", and his achievements were widely recognized by the society. Although Fabres has won many scientific titles, he is still as simple as ever, shy and humble, and leads a poor life. His talent was admired by scholars at that time, including British biologist Darwin, Belgian playwright maeterlinck, winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1911, German writer Junger, French philosopher Bergson, poet Malamei, Provence writer Rumanier and so on. Because Fabres's experiments were accurately recorded in Insect Tale, and many secrets of insect life and living habits were uncovered, Darwin called Fabres an "observer that cannot be imitated". When he lived in Ang, Cellini, many scholars and writers visited him in succession. Fabres once received Pasteur, British philosopher Mill and other scholars in his own residence.
