Reviews

"Of the insect, only fragments reach us - furtive buzzing, impetuous flights, imperceptible caresses of its legs on our skin. "It is so small," wrote Jules Michelet, "that with it, one is not obliged to be fair." And what if, to hear the beating of the microcosm, one had to imagine, as in a fairy tale, that the insect could fall in love?"
