Bernard Werber

Bernard Werber ( born September 18, 1961 in Toulouse ) is a French writer.

Life

At the age of 14, he wrote stories for a fanzine. After his studies he worked for about ten years as a scientific journalist. Then he took the first opportunity to live on his income as an author.

Work

From his time as a scientific journalist, his fondness for science, he brings over again in his stories derived (identified in " Les fourmis / ant ", " la mort" or " les origines de l' Humanité ). But critics accuse him of doing a certain naivety. His style can be explained as a mixture of adventure saga, science fiction between the wars and philosophical narrative. Most of his novels tells Bernard Werber in intrigue and information on: He alternates between documented articles on the selected topic and two narrative strands, which overlap only from time to time. It is noted that his novels and his short stories mix. Also you can find the fusion of people. For example, you will find the person of Edmond Wells in " L'Empire des anges " and in the trilogy of ants.

Note: the official Bernard Werber site summarizes these two books under the term trilogy together. So the appearance of a third band can be expected then the use of the term " trilogy " justifies.
