"I was born in the acclimation garden of the Bois de Boulogne. My mother had made a choice, to build her nest, of the thatched roof covering the house of a huge, but frightful bird called Marabou... Carpet under the crossed thatch, we lived in the greatest abundance; the mash of the foreign birds assembled in this garden provided my father and my tender mother with an inexhaustible mine to feed us, and the prudent sparrow woman had chosen the house of Marabou because of the proximity of the water, which allowed her to find easily at the edge the worms that we urgently need during our young age, especially at the time of growth of our feathers. My nesting companions were two brothers and two sisters, and our parents waited only a few days to show us the use of our wings. Alas! this is easier said than done! One night, the wind rose under the pressure of the storm. Carpet in the bottom of our nest, under the wings of our parents, we trembled with repeated lightning flashes and under the hot gusts that shook the house on its foundations. Faint with fear, wet with torrents of water coming through the straws and dripping on our nest, we pressed against each other without even daring to cry." CONTENTS: I.

Livre bilingue français/anglais (Bilingual French/English Book) - Première édition (First Edition) Éditeur (Editor): Nicolae Sfetcu, Traducteur (Translator): Nicolae Sfetcu Développée à partir de la tradition de narration orale du Moyen Âge, le petit conte a été développé et diversifiée de sorte qu'il est maintenant difficile de la caractériser. Il ne peut pas être inclus dans un genre spécifique et diffère sensiblement selon le pays et la période historique. Le petit conte utilise des techniques spécifiques pour souligner un effet singulier ou une humeur. Il y a de nombreuses définitions drôles pour les petits contes: «essences fortes dans de petites bouteilles», «dire beaucoup en quelques mots», «une manière de penser synthétisée», «un moyen rapide, approprié à ce siècle, de transmettre des idées», «l'intelligence sur des petits espaces», etc. C'est un genre très approprié pour la jeunesse d'aujourd'hui, avec un message concis et puissant. Une évasion du monde réel dans un univers totalement différent pour certains, une occasion de se détendre ou un moyen de procrastination pour les autres. Les lecteurs des petits contes ont des idées et des émotions plus puissantes, concentrées et intenses. Un art profond et relaxant, très approprié pour notre temps. J'ai réuni dans cette anthologie quelques-unes des plus beaux petits contes de la littérature française classique. La première édition se poursuivra au cours des années à venir avec d'autres histoires au moins aussi belles, écrites par les auteurs français les plus célèbres.

"The Reddish Polyergus, the most powerful ants of France by their courage in the fighting, form a people composed of four orders of citizens: males, females, neutrals or warriors ... and slaves, workers conquered on suitable species. I am neutral, and I am proud of it. Is there a life more noble, more chivalrous than mine: to fight, to conquer or to die!... We live for years, and all this time we spend it to serve the country and the nation, to contribute to its greatness, to its power; to make us serve as kings ... and enjoy the sun!"
