A Theater Of Political Flying Insects (1657)

""A Theater of Political Flying Insects"" is a book written by Samuel Purchas in 1657. The book is a collection of stories and observations on various kinds of insects, particularly those that can fly. Purchas uses these insects as metaphors for political and social issues of his time, drawing parallels between the behavior of insects and the behavior of people in power. The book is divided into chapters, each focusing on a different type of insect, such as bees, wasps, and butterflies. Purchas describes the physical characteristics and behavior of each insect, and then draws connections to political and social issues. For example, he compares the behavior of ants to the hierarchical structure of society, and the behavior of butterflies to the fickleness of human desire. The book is written in a poetic and metaphorical style, and is considered a classic of early modern natural history writing.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
