Summary:
"
Bill
François
' 'Eloquence of the sardine' is a charming narrative nonfiction book about the secret lives of fishes, written by physicist and naturalist, who graduated from École Normale Supérieure in Paris with a Ph.D. in fish hydrodynamics. It blends
Bill
's personal story with that of sea creatures to create an original and exciting work. In poetic prose, he describes his unlikely journey from being a Parisian child, afraid of the water and crippled by self-consciousness, to an eloquent and self-assured young man with a passion for the ocean and all who inhabit it. In doing so, he tells the stories of sardines, anchovies, eels, suckerfish, and whales (to name a few), and demystifies these creatures' fascinating conversations. A mix between science and storytelling from the past and present, 'Eloquence of the sardine' is an invitation to dive deep and learn from the secrets of the ocean."
