The edition I read was: "The library Gallimard, text and file." This is not a book I read as a teenager and I discovered in adulthood. A book that does not come out unscathed and I imagine it would upset me if I had read it in adolescence. I had a little trouble to get into the story, because of passages or boring descriptions. Then the story comes together and the story becomes more captivating. Playback stops are very interesting and helped me to understand and analyze some things, just because some passages are not very clear (translation?). It is not unscathed reading this book. Some passages are scary, but extremely lucid. Far from civilization, standards, laws, rules, principles of education, primary instincts take over again. The summary is perfect behind the book "Adventure with a capital A, is freedom, would it not heaven, it's fear, it's cruelty, it is the reign of? barbarity. It does not play in the war, it is done. "
