ENGLISH DESCRIPTIION"An intelligent pleasure, a literary and scientific feast. Andr s 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. Andr s 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.
