Description
Jean-Henri Fabre (1823–1915) was in some ways like those whose customs, behaviors, and secrets he tirelessly studied throughout his long life—like insects. A lean man with a sharp nose and an attentive gaze from which nothing escaped, Fabre achieved everything himself: he chose a calling he truly loved and made the whole world believe in him. Using only his own efforts, he created a magnificent laboratory for studying insects. He brought the science of insects out of dusty halls with dried beetles and butterflies into sun-scorched spaces where all the exhibits burrowed, hunted, reproduced, and cared for their offspring.
Persistent, relentless, endlessly hardworking—Fabre carried out a real revolution in science. But the general public learned about him and loved him thanks to inspired stories about the lives of butterflies, spiders, beetles, wasps, and other small creatures of our world. On his stories about insects, which stand alongside Alfred Brehm’s “Animal Life,” generations of nature lovers—and simply curious people—have grown up.
