The Life of the Bee
Maurice Maeterlinck and Alfred Sutro
A Nobel-winning poet turned his gaze on the beehive and found a drama worthy of Greek tragedy. Maeterlinck follows the swarm, the founding of the new city, and the strange sacrifices of the colony, writing science as literature. Lyrical, philosophical, and unforgettable. The book that made the whole world look again at the humble honeybee.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
