«Le garçon sauvage: Carnet de montagne» is the autobiographical account by Paolo Cognetti, published by 10/18 in paperback (138 pages, in French).
Cognetti recounts his summer in the Aosta Valley: at thirty, overwhelmed by Milan and blocked in his writing, he settles into an isolated cabin. In diary form, the book alternates between the mountain and wild life and reflections on solitude, freedom, and the transition to adulthood, a journey that restores his inspiration.
