«La Femme sauvage» is a true-crime investigation by Michel Gardère, published by Presses de la Cité in paperback (254 pages, in French).
In 1807, in the Ariège Pyrenees, word spreads of a naked woman living with a bear. Captured, she only says «Robespierre mató a mi familia» and escapes; she will spend two more years in the mountains before being imprisoned in Foix. Gardère reconstructs her real story and the efforts that led minister Fouché to take an interest in her.
The work bears the subtitle «récit-enquête» and belongs to the Terres de France collection; the investigation involved the collaboration of Anne-Charlotte Delangle.
For readers of historical chronicles and investigative accounts of real 19th-century cases.
