Title : Truancy - Nicolas Vanier - Book
Summary :
"At the end of the forest path, where the mist had swallowed the world, something was slowly emerging, a chimera growing as if in a dream. An immense deer tore through the fog, its antlers so ample that, for a moment, Paul thought the shadow had increased it tenfold..."
For Paul, who has never known anything other than the mineral universe of the Parisian suburbs, the discovery of the wild nature of Sologne is fascinating.
Entrusted to Borel, the gruff gamekeeper of the Count of La Fresnaye's estate, and his wife, the young boy soon becomes acquainted with the most cunning poacher in the country.
On the banks of the Loire, a sincere friendship is formed between the man of the woods and the city boy. Paul discovers the secrets of nature, tastes freedom, breathes deeply this new life, dreaming day and night of this beautiful young Gypsy woman swimming naked in the Malnoue pond.
Until the day he comes across a majestic deer that he wants to protect from humans. A quest that will confront him with the secret of his own birth...
With this coming-of-age novel, Nicolas Vanier invites us to this mysterious Sologne that he has cherished since his childhood.
An ode to nature, reminiscent of Maurice Genevoix, but also a reflection on identity, roots, and friendship. A text that is both powerful and tender, far removed from the hustle and bustle of the world.
