Entomology is a masterpiece handed down from ancient times by Fabres, an outstanding French entomologist and writer, and it is also an immortal work. It combines the author's lifelong research achievements and life feelings in one furnace, and turns the insect world into a beautiful book for human beings to acquire knowledge, interest, beauty and thoughts. The principle of choice is to be faithful to the overall style and expressive features 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 books for "bugs" in his life. And these books about "bugs" are actually reprinted and translated into more than 50 languages. Until a hundred years later, they will cause a sensation in the reading world again and again, which is a miracle among miracles. The creator of these miracles is Fabers, the author of Entomology. Fabres has "thinking from the philosopher's perspective, looking at it from the artist's perspective, feeling and writing from the writer's perspective". In this book, the author combines professional knowledge with life perception, and expresses his unique vision of life in the description of an insect, daily life habits and characteristics. Between the lines is full of the author's own respect and love for life. The publication of this book is regarded as the birth of animal psychology. The Story of Insects is not only a scientific masterpiece about insects, but also a magnificent poem that eulogizes life. Fabres is known as "scientific poet", "Homer of insects" and "Virgil of the insect world". Man is not an isolated existence. All living things 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 life movement composed by Fabres, an outstanding representative of human beings, many ordinary people in nature, insects and a book that can never be read. Such a miracle may provide us with more precious enlightenment at the critical moment when mankind is about to enter the new century and the earth is about to usher in the ecological era. The story of insects is not only immersed in awe of life, but also contains some spirit. That spirit is seeking truth, that is, pursuing truth and exploring truth. This is Faber's spirit. Without this spirit, there would be no entomology, and the tree of human spirit would lack a fruit of wisdom. The Insect Story written by Fabres is famous all over the world. This masterpiece occupies a place in the history of French natural science and literature. This masterpiece expresses the wonderful and amazing spirituality of insects in struggle for existence. 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 of races for survival and reproduction, and guided the vast amount of evidence of natural science with humanistic spirit, making the insect world a literary form for human beings to acquire knowledge, interest, beauty and thoughts, and writing the topic of small insects into a masterpiece with multi-level significance and all-round value. Such a work is really unprecedented in the world. No entomologist has such 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 volumes of Insect Tales, which won him many readers not only in France, but also in European countries and all over the world. Literature respectfully called him "Virgil of the insect world", and French academic and literary circles recommended Fabres as a candidate for 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. The Tale of Insects is a book written by Fabres. He spent his whole life observing the life of insects and their struggle for survival and reproduction, and then recorded his observations in detail and accurately. Insects has ten volumes, each volume contains several chapters, and each chapter describes the life of one or more insects in detail and profoundly: spiders, bees, mantis, scorpions and cicadas.
