L'Homme-chevreuil
Amoureux de la nature, Geoffroy Delorme n'a pas vingt ans quand il aperçoit, dans la forêt de Louviers en Normandie, un chevreuil curieux et joueur. Le jeune homme et l'animal s'apprivoisent. Geoffroy lui donne un nom, Daguet, et le chevreuil lui ouvre les portes de la forêt et du monde fascinant de ses semblables. Geoffroy s'installe parmi eux et son expérience immersive va durer sept ans. Vivre seul en forêt sans tente, ni abri, ni même un sac de couchage ou une couverture, c'est surtout apprendre à survivre. Geoffroy Delorme suit l'exemple des chevreuils. Il adopte leurs comportements, apprend à se nourrir, à dormir et à se protéger comme eux. Il acquiert une connaissance unique de ces animaux et de leur mode de vie, il les observe, les photographie et communique avec eux. Il apprend à partager leurs joies, leurs peines et leurs peurs. Aujourd'hui, il raconte.
Leben unter Rehen
Der mit den Rehen lebt Schon als Teenager sind Geoffroy Delorme die Tiere näher als die Menschen. Am liebsten streift er in den Wäldern hinter seinem Elternhaus in der Normandie umher. Als er eines Tages auf ein neugieriges Reh trifft, das schnell Vertrauen zu ihm fasst, schließt er sich ihm an. In den folgenden Jahren kehrt Delorme immer seltener und schließlich gar nicht mehr in die Zivilisation zurück. Ohne Decke und Zelt lebt er bei den Rehen; orientiert sich an ihrem Schlafrhythmus, ernährt und schützt sich wie sie. Dabei erlangt er außergewöhnliche Einblicke in ihre Lebensweise – und findet endlich zu sich selbst. »Atemberaubend, bescheiden und gefühlvoll« Arte Die einzigartige Geschichte eines jungen Mannes auf der Suche nach einem erfüllten Leben Über den Wald als Kraft- und Rückzugsort Mit faszinierenden Fakten über Rehe und andere Tiere des Waldes
Becoming Other
Most of us are conscious of having a single and stable self, but the self is more fragmented and plastic than we care to think. David Berliner explores the captivating world of identity through an array of astonishing experiences. From Napoleon doppelgangers to Philip Roth's alter-ego Nathan Zukerman and Wonder Woman cosplayers to anthropologists going native, he delves into the kaleidoscopic nature of the self and attempts to understand the heterogenous nature of identity. But Becoming Other also discusses a great cultural controversy of our time: who has the right to play at being whom?

The Friendship of a Mountain
Why are we fascinated by mountains? These outcrops of rock were once considered unsightly, something to be avoided at all costs, but, since Rousseau, they have been contrasted with our corrupt cities and viewed as serene enclaves of beauty and relaxation. But why climb to the summit only to come back down again? Why does the toil of climbing convert into joy? What metaphysics of the absolute is playing out here – what challenge does climbing pose to time and ageing, to fearful panic, to the brush with danger which leads to conquest? It’s not faith that elevates mountains – it’s mountains that elevate our faith in challenging us to overcome them. These hooded majesties crush some peop...
