I envy teenagers in other countries for having such good books to read, and I hope someone in China will do this translation work. ".
The famous French dramatist Rodin said: "This great scientist thinks like a philosopher, looks like an artist and writes like a writer."
Lu Xun said: "Now Fabres, a French entomologist who has been introduced to China many times, also has this tendency. His works also have two shortcomings: one is to laugh at anatomists, and the other is to use human morality in the insect world. But without anatomy, you can't have his careful observation, because the basis of observation is anatomy; It is reasonable for agronomists to divide insects into beneficial insects and pests according to human interests, but it is redundant to divide insects into good insects and bad insects according to human morality and laws at that time. Some serious scientists are critical of Fabres, which is not unreasonable. However, if we are alert to these two points first, then his magnum opus Insects is still a very interesting and worth reading. "
Entomology is an epic of insects in the world, a life movement written by Fabres, an outstanding representative of mankind, and many ordinary people in nature-insects, and a book that can never be interpreted; This book is worth passing on to the next generation. It is the most influential book recommended by Professor 1 13 of Harvard University and a landmark work in French history. Classic works that affect the world.
/kloc-At the end of 0/9, Fabres, an outstanding French entomologist and writer, published a book "The Story of Insects", and the world echoed with admiration. No entomologist has the literary accomplishment as high as Fabres, and no writer has the entomological attainments as high as Fabres. Entomology is a model of the perfect combination of science and literature.
Entomology is a masterpiece handed down from generation to generation by Fabres and an immortal world masterpiece.
It combines the author's lifelong research achievements and life feelings in one furnace, and makes Insects at Home into a beautiful article for human beings to acquire knowledge, interest, beauty and thoughts. Fables, praised by Darwin as an "unparalleled observer", observed the nature of insects with human nature. The instinct, habits, labor, marriage, reproduction and death of insects in the book are permeated with humanistic care. Looking back at social life with the nature of insects, wise philosophical thinking comes to the fore.
In his simple pen, a serious academic work, such as a beautiful essay, can not only make people gain knowledge and ideas from it, but reading itself is a unique aesthetic process.
10 ? Fabres's book is about the life of insects, but after reading it, we find it more interesting and meaningful than reading those boring novels and plays. Instead of dissection and classification, he recorded the incredible wonder and ignorance of insect life phenomena, instincts and habits on the spot by observation and experiment. We are deeply impressed by the similar fate described in novels and plays. Now we see these tragicomedy in the insect world, as if hearing the news of a distant relative-indeed, a distant relative-is just as urgent, tempting and reminiscent.
