The book "Insectopedia" by the American anthropologist Hugh Raffles (b. 1958) is a stunning study of the relationship that binds man with the beautiful, ancient and incomprehensibly different insects that surround him.
The period of human existence is comparable to the presence of insects near him. Tiny creatures surround us in everyday life: they eat our food, live in our houses and sleep in our beds. And how much do we know about them? Almost nothing. The book about insects, compiled from encyclopedia-type essays arranged in alphabetical order (hence the name "Insectopedia"), offers the reader a fascinating study of history, science, anthropology, economics, philosophy and popular culture.
"Insectopedia" is a book that shows us how insects initiate our desires, excite passions and deceive our imagination, an exploration of the boundaries of the human world and the interaction of culture and nature.
