"Robale" is not only a book about insects, but also a mirror in which our disintegrating personality is reflected. Through fascination and disgust, insects become a challenge to an anthropocentric worldview, testing the limits of our humanity. Louse, mosquito, flea, mantis these figures of radical otherness open up to us a mysterious and exotic continent on the outskirts of our experience.

It is also a work with a political edge, which shows the processes of dehumanization and rejection, revealing blank spots in the systems of human ethics. The faceless stranger is a great ethical challenge, Rosłan reminds us. In the face of the crisis of historical memory and the need to rearrange our relations with nature, defining obligations towards what is radically alien becomes an urgent task. This book encourages reflection on our place in the world and our relationships with other beings.

Marek Rosłan, born in 1981, amateur entomologist, psychologist by education, takes us in his book on a journey through a world that remains terra incognita for most people. For him, this world is fascinating and beautiful, full of inspiration and discoveries. As a child, he looked at the ground and wanted to know the names of the creatures that landed on his shoulder from time to time. This curiosity and passion accompanied him throughout his life, leading to the creation of this extraordinary work.
