Biography

It is born with Toulouse (Haute-Garonne) the September 18th 1961. As of the 14 years age, he writes stories for a Fanzine (started from its life which will be useful to him for its novels, as in Empire of the angels ). After its studies, it becomes journalist Scientifique during ten years, in particular for Eureka , the magazine of the Cité of sciences and industry. From these years its taste for the Science comes to him, which it mixes with its favorite topics, of the ants to the Mort until the origins of humanity.

Works of Bernard Werber were translated into thirty-five Langue S. With 15 million specimens sold in the world, Bernard Werber is one of the contemporary French authors most read in the world (with Marc Levy). He is even regarded as a star in South Korea.

Following its delivers éponyme, it initiated the Arbre of possible the , Web site and “project to seek or imagine the possible futures of humanity”. The first feature film of cinema carried out by Bernard Werber Our friends Land the left in April 2007, produced by Claude Lelouch and whose trailer was projected in preview at the time of its conference with Mensa.

Writing

Its style of writing mixes different kinds, in particular the Saga of Aventure, the Science-fiction of the Entre-deux-guerres and the philosophical Conte.

In the majority of his novels, Bernard Werber uses the same form of construction, alternating informative articles of narrative Encyclopédie and two wire . The articles specify or widen the intrigues, these two last recutting itself episodically.

Moreover, its novels and its news intersect. One finds thus characters like Edmond Wells at the same time in the trilogy of the Fourmis and in the Empire of the angels , but also of the recurrent themes, like “the Tree of possible” of Isidore Katzenberg, or the novel Us them gods , taking again elements of the Nouvelle the School of the young gods .

In two novels, Werber describes authors of literature. Thus an author is introduced who, at the end of his life, writes a last book which gives a direction to whole work. While having beforehand noted a certain similarity of the characters, topics and style of the work of Werber, one can conclude from it that it tries to give a certain coherence to the ideas that it develops.

For a few years, Bernard Werber has decided to leave a book per annum, with each October 3rd. After the literary re-entry, the objective is of to propose with the different public thing that possible Price Goncourt .

Some of its detractors reproach him for making pass in its unquestionable works scientific theories for certainty whereas they are only assumptions among so many others, when they have a scientific base. On the scientific level, it is thus necessary to apprehend its works with a passing necessary.

One sees for example advancing in Thanatonautes the reason for which it is born on ground more girls than boys ; but it is that the statistics show the reverse: even by excluding the countries where the Selective abortion is practiced, the Sex ratio with the birth is of 1,05 to 1 in favor of the boys. The figures by age group are reversed only around 30 years and more in the developed countries.

None of its works claims nevertheless to prove or cancel any scientific theory, but to expose in a work of fiction some discoveries still little or not known of the general public. the Ultimate secrecy illustrates well this tendency, one can read there on the Quatrième of cover the following sentence: “They will go from surprised into surprised until the extraordinary outcome based on a scientific discovery little known but real. ”

Bernard Werber is member of honor of INREES, the Research institute on the Extraordinary Experiments, an association having for vocation the sensitizing of the professionals in mental health, of the doctors and looking after in general, with the extraordinary, or unusual experiments.

It is time to leave usual bipolar cleavages with an official world and an irrational world. There are facts, there are events and it is important to speak about it normally without passion, nor systematic exclusion. The world is not in a simple dichotomy I believe in it - I do not believe in it. It there in the place for a third way which one could summarize with a sentence: " I cannot explain it yet but that does not prevent me thinking and from seeing of it whether that could not have a utilité."

This approach is reflected consequently in the contents of its novels, such as for example the Thanatonautes , which proposes a spiritualistic version of the experiments of imminent death or Our Friends land the which tells an account of Enlèvements by extraterrestrial the. Science, the Paranormal and the Spiritualité influence many its novels thus.

Symbolic systems

The Symbolique S in its books are numerous. The animals like the Dolphin, the Rat or the ants are as many animals intelligent or, in any case, presented like such.

Also, returns frequently the symbolic system of the figures which, according to the way that they are explained, reflect “the stage of the evolution of the heart” in the shape even of the figures.
