Un libro que nos guía por un territorio tan fascinante como perturbador: el cuerpo humano habitado, a veces sometido, por criaturas microscópicas y parásitos que moldean en silencio lo que somos.
Andrés Cota Hiriart, zoólogo y naturalista, escribe aquí una obra de liternatura que entreteje con humor sagaz algunas reflexiones científicas con sus memorias familiares. Fieras interiores nos lleva a concebir el organismo humano como un ecosistema feroz donde la locura y la cordura se fusionan y, casi siempre, se confunden.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTIION
“An intelligent pleasure, a literary and scientific feast. Andrés Cota Hiriart creates a personal menagerie of happy audacities, an uncommon taxonomy about life on this planet: unbelievable creatures that inhabit us, oneiric animals, microscopic powers. Biology has found its Scheherazade.” —Irene Vallejo
A book guiding us through a territory as fascinating as it is disturbing; the human body, inhabited by and sometimes subjected to microscopic creatures and parasites that silently shape who we are.
Andrés Cota Hiriart, zoologist and naturalist, writes a work of literature that weaves some scientific reflections with smart humor and family memories. Inner Beasts helps us conceive the human organism as a ferocious ecosystem where madness and sanity merge, and almost always, blend.
