En savoir plus sur le livre
We all know "wild children" through books or films, such as Mowgli, the hero of The Jungle Book, or Tarzan, the lord of the jungle. They grow up in a world without humans, raised and nourished by wild animals. However, what seems to be the fruit of an overflowing imagination actually exists: since ancient times to the present day, there are accounts of children raised by wolves, dogs, or monkeys, who have survived in nature. These wild children have sparked the interest of researchers, who hoped that through these curious beings, they could discover what we are given at birth and what we acquire later, influenced by our environment. These stories question our understanding of human nature and cultural influences, while exploring the limits of education and instinct.
