Gustave Aimard

    13 settembre 1818 – 20 giugno 1883

    La produzione letteraria di Gustave Aimard offre un avvincente mix di autobiografia, antropologia e storia, in particolare nelle sue rinomate avventure riguardanti le tribù native americane. Le sue narrazioni, tradotte in numerose lingue, si addentrano in mondi perduti ed esplorano personaggi ai margini della società. La voce distintiva di Aimard evita la narrazione convenzionale, attirando invece i lettori in paesaggi crudi e pericolosi dove la realtà si intreccia con la leggenda. La sua importanza risiede nel catturare lo spirito elusivo della sua epoca e nel presentare una prospettiva schietta sulla natura umana.
