Book Synopsis The Passionate Observer by : Jean-Henri Fabre

Download or read book The Passionate Observer written by Jean-Henri Fabre and published by Chronicle Books (CA). This book was released on 1998 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A combination of contemporary watercolors by Marlene McLoughlin and nature writing by the 19th-century French naturalist Jean-Henri Fabre. McLoughlin's watercolors vary from detailed illustrations of Fabre's subjects--birds, insects, flowers --to landscapes showing the France in which Fabre worked. Fabre's writing is similarly varied: at one moment he is giving vivid descriptions of eggs and fungi, at the next he is telling stories about his grandmother or his theories on heredity. Fabre's writings are excerpts from his 1879 Souvenirs Entomologiques. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
