The Lion is a novel of rare beauty, a major work, a book that leaves traces and that allows you to enter a beautiful love story. Beautiful but cruel, like the wilderness of the great African parks. Some regard it as a youth novel, but it is much more than that, it's a romance novel that traces a simple and complex relationship both between a little girl and a lion men that make up their environment. All under the eyes of Joseph Kessel, who fills us with his narrator talent.
