Empire of the Ants

by Bernard Werber

The Wells family inherited a Paris apartment from an uncle with only one request: don't go down to the cellar. But the Wells family can't resist, and they soon find themselves in an ant kingdom where boats are built with leaves, greenflies are milked like cows, and a young female ant fights to become the queen. Like the classic Watership Down, this stunning portrayal of a parallel society forces us to take a long hard look at ourselves -- from the ground up.
