3000 anni fra i microbi

by Mark Twain, Carlo Pagetti (Introduzione), Laura Portoghese (Translator)

La vie réserve bien des surprises... Tout l'art est de savoir s'adapter. Telle fut, en substance, la réflexion de B. b. Bkshp le jour où il se vit soudain transformé... en microbe ! D'honorable savant américain, le voilà devenu sooflaski, germe parmi les germes de la planète Blitzowski.
La planète Blitzowski ? Un vagabond décrépit et vieillissant, hirsute, déguenillé, incroyablement malpropre, dont le corps est un égout... Un charnier qui abrite cependant les grouillantes nations de toute la vermine microbienne. Toute !
Quel monde ! Quel univers ! Vaste, imposant, majestueux ! Avec ses milles républiques, ses innombrables langues, son aristocratie, sa monnaie, ses religions... Et ses microbes... " Ah ! Mon cher B. b. Bkchp, tout est mystère, mystère, mystère. Et cet éphémère séjour - croyez-le ! - n'est pas la fin ! "

An interesting view of society from a microbe's perspective in its own environment, and (perhaps not so) surprisingly similar to that of their invaded universes. A read far more entertaining than I expected.
