Why do the maggots eat the Satanic boletus and scorn the imperial mushroom? How is it that they find delicious what we find poisonous, and why is it that what seems exquisite to our taste is loathsome to theirs? Can there be special compounds in mushrooms, alkaloids, apparently, which vary according to the biological genus?' (quote from page 281, chapter XIX: A Memorable Lesson) ***Fabre's Souvenirs Entomologiques is a series of texts on insects and arachnids, of which this book is one. He influenced the later writings of Charles Darwin, who called Fabre "an inimitable observer". Fabre wrote in a relaxed, biographical style, and as such are very readable as well as scientific. A classic entomology title. ***First reprint of the first edition in English in its original cloth-covered boards. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.

Original o primera edición
Hard Cover. Condición: Very Good. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Good. First American Edition. All of Fabre's essays on Diptera, in his usual chatty but factual style; with autobiographical and mathematical essays added to bring the volume up to the standard size of other volumes in Fabre's collected works, as published by Dodd. First American edition (first printing), with same date (1913) on title & copyright pages; the jacket, however, is a later issue, after 1922, with Detmold's famous dung beetle illustration, first published in 1921. The book itself also has more wear than you'd expect from a book constantly in a jacket. So either the original owner 'improved' it at some point, or, more likely, a publisher's rep came around bookstores swapping out the old plain jackets for ones with the sexy Detmold art from their new book, to improve sales of both. Further, the back of the jacket lists the complete Works, which Teixeira did not complete translating until 1922, and it notes the list price as $2.00, while earlier printings have a jacket price of $1.50 or $1.75. Hardcover, full brown cloth, gilt titling. Light wear to book, corners rubbed, dent to top edge of front cover; jacket lightly rubbed with short tears, minor discoloration to lower spine where a small label was removed, tape stains inside jacket at the head of the spine, showing through a little; large book plate of Milwaukee Red Cross Major Edouard de Surentin inside front cover; stain to margins of pages 130/131, affecting adjacent pages. Text otherwise clean; 477 pages; index. Size: Duodecimo.
