The extraordinary adventure of a man who goes to live among roe deer - a story for nature lovers of all ages.
 
 

Review

A story of extraordinary power and tenderness, showing that intimate relationship with the wild world and the wild self is both possible and vital. Delorme is the best possible guide through the tangle of the woods and the tangle of the psyche. Deer Man will change you. It has the distinctive scent of an enduring classic. -- Charles Foster, author of Being a Beast and Being a Human'

An extraordinary, unique story about how one man connected to the natural world in the 21st century - Northern Life

Haunting, remarkable and ultimately very moving - Sunday Times

A startling portrait of an animal that is both familiar to us and yet shockingly misunderstood... it is a delightful, moving read - and a quietly revolutionary one. -- Melanie Challenger - Guardian

Some deeply eccentric books have crossed my path in my time, but this one probably takes the biscuit . . . This is a lyrical, rather lovely book by a talented writer. -- Marcus Berkmann - Daily Mail

Deer Man conveys an intense sympathy for the animals and has passages of real beauty... It also has the special evocativeness of tales of time in the wild that take place close to ordinary life -- Peter Godfrey-Smith - Times Literary Supplement

Book Description

The astonishing, true account of one man's quest to immerse himself in nature and live with wild deer for seven years.

From the Back Cover

Geoffroy Delorme never felt he fitted into the human world. He would often disappear into the woods, drawn to the rhythms of animal life and away from the rules of a society he did not understand. One night, an encounter with a deer changed his life: from then on, he knew he wanted to live among them.

In Deer Man, Delorme describes becoming a creature of the forest, working to blend in with the deer and witnessing their births and deaths, loves and battles, ostracism and friendship. In his seventh 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 that desperately needs to hear it.
