An original story Inspired from the wildlife, The Virunga National Park in Congo, where rangers are risking their lives to protect morning gorillas and the rest of the wildlife from the poachers. It was difficult to find a connection with the author, whom I feel could have delved more into the emotional side of his journey. Med syfte att göra sig till språkrör för rådjuren lever Geoffroy Delmore i skogen som nomad i sju år utan varken tält eller sovsäck. I found this an intriguing book: how many people, after all, would go to this extent in their love for wildlife?

On ne peut que lui souhaiter du courage dans son parcours pour défendre les chevreuils contre les coupes à blanc et l'industrialisation qui grignotent les forêts. Muchos conocimientos los aprendió observando e imitando el comportamiento de los corzos que lo aceptaron como a un habitante más del bosque. Geoffroy's first language is French and we decided that an excerpt would be the best way to introduce people to his riveting book, translated by Shaun Whiteside. But Delorme does, and you can see his connection with not just the deer, but other woodland creatures too, like foxes, badgers and boars.Some of the photos, which are undoubtedly beautiful, seemed to be plonked into the book at random moments and not ones relating to the story itself. De truuk is te leven zoals opgejaagd wild: luttele korte momentjes slapen, zittend op je hukken om je bloedsomloop niet te laten stoppen. He casts his metropolitan world behind and relocates to the sumptuous national forest of Louviers, Normandy to live with the deer and immerse himself in the wilderness for seven years.

The astonishing, true account of one man's quest to immerse himself in nature and live with wild deer for seven years. Now 37, he has written an extraordinary memoir of his experiences: a literary sensation in France, and already translated into 11 languages.I avoid my parents, who disapprove of my new man-of-the-woods lifestyle and have no qualms about saying so.

J'aurais aimé en apprendre plus sur son retour à la civilisation, qui est seulement évoqué dans le dernier chapitre et l'épilogue. It is hard being a human sometimes and for some, the only life that feels genuine can be a "wild" one outdoors. Il aurait pu éviter de me déboussoler en ajoutant une date, un mois ou une saison et l’année près de chaque vécu.Another contraction, then another, when, all of a sudden, out comes the young fawn, falling to the ground: bam! Delome’s writing style requires you to lean on your experience of nature and supplement it with empathy for a species of animal we often dismiss as of non-value to study. In his sensuous and moving memoir, Geoffroy forms a powerful connection with roe deer while living alone in the woods for seven years.

El tiempo que no estaba estudiando por correspondencia, el pequeño aventurero exploraba el jardín y los alrededores, aunque sintiéndose atraído por la naturaleza y la vida salvaje, cada vez avanzaba un poco más en la exploración. Geoffroy vivía prácticamente solo, sin amigos y finalmente sin compañeros de clase, sus padres acabaron sacándolo de la escuela por sus problemas para relacionarse. Finalement, on comprend aisément pourquoi les chasseurs ne veulent pas croire l’histoire que Delorme a vécue. Deer Man follows the story of someone who turns his back on society and spends seven years living in a forest among roe deer. They are individuals with individual personalities who decide (individually) to let him into their company after they each have time to see what he’s about.Men om jag ska rädda dem från undergången, orsakad av den här världen som håller på att bli galen, måste jag hålla mig vid liv så att jag kan berätta deras historia och göra folk medvetna om hur tillvaron ute i det vilda ser ut. ALSO HOW IS YOU DRINKING FROM A DOE’S TEAT LESS DISTURBING TO THE ROE DEER THAN SOMEONE GOING FOR A WALK ON A PATH. Drawn to the forest and its fauna, Delorme spent years going “back and forth between human society and wilderness” before opting to live with his “real family,” roe deer.
