Il ragazzo gazzella by Jean-Claude Armen is a work of narrativa scientifica (scientific narrative) aimed at middle schools, recounting the true or semi-legendary story of a child raised in the wild among gazelles. The text explores themes of feral children, human identity, nature versus nurture, and adaptation to the natural world, with contributions by Danilo Mainardi. Designed for young readers, it combines factual description, imaginative reconstruction, and moral reflection. More than a simple adventure, the book invites consideration of what makes us human.
