Maggiori informazioni sul libro

The novel delves into the psychological and cultural complexities of human nature through the true story of Jemmy Button, a Yamana Indian abducted by Captain Robert Fitzroy. As Fitzroy attempts to "civilize" Jemmy in England and return him to his homeland, the narrative reveals the tragic consequences of European arrogance and exploitation. Unlike typical portrayals, Jemmy is not romanticized as the "Noble Savage"; instead, the story highlights the failure of these colonial ambitions, emphasizing the strangeness and resilience of the "Other."
