The miserable life of earthworms

Let’s face it, the earthworm is unloved. Although there is much to discover about it, no one except Charles Darwin seems to have taken an interest in it. Many questions remain unanswered: How did it circumvent natural selection? What is its tail for? Why does it persist in digging tunnels in the earth? What we do know for sure is that an earthworm is not a caterpillar. And if one day it is struck by lightning and separated from its tail, its life will be turned upside down. Who is it without the one who has always completed it?

In these 200 illustrated pages, mixing scientific observations and crazy humor, The Miserable Life of Earthworms restores the earthworm's nobility (or almost).
