Annals of Petty Matters

A fly says: "Beneath the palm of a god, nine out of ten meet their end. Above the lips of a god, gold lies everywhere."

History books have always recorded emperors and generals, never flies.

This book dares to fill that gap.

From the struggle over a single grain of rice to the arrival of a slipper, it faithfully records the rise and fall of insects and the successes and failures of trivial things.

Theme: See the big picture through the small.
