Summary:
The
boy
does not speak. The
boy
has no name. The
boy
, raised half-wild in the forests of southern France, sets out alone into the wilderness and the greater world beyond. Having never encountered another person aside from his mother, the
boy
must learn what it is to be human, to exist among people, and to live beyond simple survival. As this wild and naive child attempts to join civilization, he encounters earthquakes and car crashes, ogres, and artists, and, eventually, all-encompassing love and an inescapable war. His adventures take him around the world and through history on a mesmerizing journey, rich with unforgettable characters. A hamlet of farmers fears he's a werewolf, but eventually raises him as one of their own. A circus performer who toured the world as a sideshow introduces the
boy
to showmanship and sanitation. And a chance encounter with an older woman exposes him to music and the sensuous pleasures of life. The
boy
becomes a guide whose innocence exposes society's wonder, brutality, absurdity, and magic. Beginning in 1908 and spanning three decades, The
Boy
is an emotionally and historically rich exploration of amily, passion, and war from one of France's most acclaimed and bestselling authors.
