Fabre Poet Of Science

by C.V. Legros and Jean-Henri Fabre

Book Overview

Fabre Poet of Science is a book written by Dr. G.V. Legros that provides a comprehensive account of the life and work of Jean-Henri Fabre, a French entomologist and writer. Fabre is known for his extensive research on insects and his ability to communicate scientific information in a poetic and accessible way. The book delves into Fabre's childhood, education, and early career, as well as his groundbreaking discoveries and contributions to the field of entomology. Legros also explores Fabre's literary achievements, including his numerous books and essays on insects, as well as his influence on other writers and scientists. The book is an engaging and informative read for anyone interested in the history of science, entomology, or literature.In the domain of things positive, it is not always sufficient to gather the facts, to record them, and to codify in bare formulae the results of inquiry. Doubtless every essential discovery is able to stand by itself; in what would an inventor profit, for example, by raising himself to the level of the artist? ""For the theorem lucidity suffices; truth issues naked from the bottom of a well.""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
