Deer Man: Seven Years of Living in the Forest

Product Information

I enjoyed learning about the lives of roe deer, but would have liked to have learned more about the author’s thoughts and motivations. Il est déjà presque télépathe avec son sens de l'odorat surdéveloppé - lors de sa première exposition photo, il reconnaît "la crainte, l'agacement, la peur ou la méfiance" quand il parle aux gens. Delorme attributes feelings to his friends as he witnesses their various experiences and it is these, their emotional responses to life alongside their curiosity, that most encourages the reader to see the roe deer as persons. Decidedly unsettled by this turn of events, the men packed up their gear and began to retreat to their vehicle when a sudden rustling in the long grass caused them to bring their rifles to bear. Ainsi, Delorme explique que le plus dur, ce n’était pas de survivre en forêt, mais de vider le cerveau des pensées psychologiques, et d’apprendre à vivre comme les chevreuils, dans l’instant.

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. Il aurait pu éviter de me déboussoler en ajoutant une date, un mois ou une saison et l’année près de chaque vécu.Struggling under the weight of the human world's expectations, he left civilization behind at 19 to live among them for seven years. Les chasseurs avaient observé le troupeau, savaient quel(s) buffle(s) ils pouvaient chasser sans occasionner de dégâts dans le troupeau. Humans are nature too and self-righteousness isn’t the best way to go about reminding others of that, imo.

Coup de cœur pour "L’homme-chevreuil", le récit d’une rencontre entre un homme et le monde sylvestre. L’auteur nous prend par la main et nous emmène sous les arbres, au cœur de la forêt, où il a vécu durant sept années. A few moments later, visibly weakened, she struggles up again, her whole body trembling, takes a step forward, and then stops. This enigmatic novella coolly observes a single woman, Claire, whose lover, Thomas, claims to have a wife and two children. Muchos conocimientos los aprendió observando e imitando el comportamiento de los corzos que lo aceptaron como a un habitante más del bosque.

The celebrated naturalist Richard Mabey has long railed against the impulse to use other animals as “some kind of mirror”.

Hacía trabajos de fotografía para no caer en la indigencia, aunque el dinero no era una de sus prioridades, pues buscaba estabilidad moral. He got to know their habits, their personalities, and recounts their struggles to survive in a world that is increasingly encroaching upon them. For nature enthusiasts, conservation activists, animal lovers, and fans of books like Hermit In The Woods, Woodswoman, Untamed, or the memoirs of Jane Goodall and Diana Fossey, I HIGHLY recommend this book! Als ik kijk hoeveel ik eet op een dag begrijp ik niet dat hij op wat hij vond - geen herten welteverstaan - overleefd heeft. Many, like Foster, who try to do this acknowledge that we need a disruption of power relations across the living world.Finalement, on comprend aisément pourquoi les chasseurs ne veulent pas croire l’histoire que Delorme a vécue. Antingen har jag huvudet för långt uppe i min egen moderna röv eller så är jag bara skeptisk, men jag har svårt att ta honom på orden, åtminstone inledningsvis. After reading it, I'll never look at deer the same, although I've lived among them in urban areas and in the wild where I knew them and their families as individuals. On est ému par cette complicité naturelle qui se tisse entre la nature et l’auteur, cet appel à un retour à l’essentiel et cette dose d’humilité. In concise and sober fashion, German historian Steinbacher traces the history of Auschwitz from a medieval trading town to the major extermination camp of the Holocaust.

He said a couple of times that he didn’t want to anthropomorphise the deer, but continued to do so (“she was proud” etc) which I found slightly annoying.It is hard being a human sometimes and for some, the only life that feels genuine can be a "wild" one outdoors. Det är inte en direkt intellektuell text, inte heller speciellt politisk, utan mer sensibel och med praktiskt fokus.
