Jean Craighead George

    2 juillet 1919 – 15 mai 2012

    Jean Craighead George était une auteure dont les œuvres exploraient en profondeur le tissu du monde naturel et son lien intrinsèque avec l'expérience humaine. Poussée par un profond amour de la nature et de ses créatures, elle a insufflé dans ses récits des représentations vivantes de la nature sauvage. Son écriture aborde fréquemment des thèmes de la gestion de l'environnement et des relations complexes entre les personnes et la nature, offrant aux lecteurs des aperçus convaincants sur les préoccupations écologiques. À travers ses personnages mémorables et sa narration captivante, George a donné vie à la beauté et à la fragilité du monde naturel pour son public.

      Réédition. Volume publié en 1975 dans la collection "Super-1000" aux Editions G.P. L'aventure de Julie tient du conte et du documentaire. Le chant du loup et la mélopée de Miyax (Julie) qui montent de la toundra seront-ils bientôt éteints par la "civilisation"? Le livre se termine sur une note nostalgique: la réalité. A partir de douze ans.
