«Les Fourmis» is the science fiction novel by Bernard Werber published by Albin Michel, 351 pages, in French.
The novel interweaves two parallel stories: the daily life of an ant colony in a Paris park, with its wars, hierarchies and forms of communication, and the investigation of a man who, after inheriting his entomologist uncle's house, goes down to the basement and disappears. The ants' behaviour is based on scientific findings, though taken to a fictional extreme.
First instalment of the trilogy «La Saga des Fourmis», originally published in 1991.
Aimed at readers of science fiction and scientifically grounded thrillers, it also appeals to those seeking an original perspective on the world of insects.
