About this audiobook
Geoffroy Delorme does not fit in the human world. As he gets older, he disappears into the woods at night, drawn to animal life. One night, an encounter with a deer changes his life: from then on, he knows he wants to live among them.
Delorme becomes a creature of the forest. He learns to live without a tent or sleeping bag and forage for food. He blends in with the deer and, slowly, they accept him. He witnesses their births and deaths, courtship and battles, ostracism and friendship over the cycles of their lives. Among the deer, he experiences the beauty, pain, fear, and joy of a life lived as a part of nature.
In his final year in the forest, Delorme meets a woman walking through the trees. He knows he can stay in the forest and die with his friends—or he can leave and speak their truth to a human world.
Deer Man is a moving story of what it's like to be an outsider and how forming connections with the natural world can help us feel less alone. A unique and powerful window into how far one human is willing to go to understand an animal, Deer Man asks us to never take for granted the flora and fauna of our world, and to work for their protection in whatever ways we can.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Bella crónica del tiempo que su autor pasó viviendo en el bosque, compartiendo su vida con los corzos. Delorme logra a través de un estilo envolvente introducirnos al bosque y que caminemos al lado suyo mientras es aceptado por los corzos al grado de considerarlo uno de ellos y de que incluso las madres le dejaran al cuidado de sus crías. A pesar de lo cual no es una obra idílica, Delorme es muy consciente de la forma en la que los seres humanos alteramos los hábitats y cómo nuestro afán de extracción de recursos y beneficios pone en riesgo a los corzos, al bosque y a todo el planeta.
