«Le Lion» is the adventure novel by Joseph Kessel, published by Belin - Gallimard in the Classico Collège collection (288 pages, in French, paperback).
The story takes place in a natural reserve in Kenya, where Patricia, a girl raised among wild animals, has tamed a lion named King since he was a cub. The novel asks what happens to that friendship when the animal reaches adulthood, and the narrative ventures into Maasai territory with a visiting narrator. It is a story that explores the friendship between a person and an animal, nature, and wildlife.
This edition includes the complete text with an introduction and pedagogical dossier by Valérie Temman. The original work was published in 1958.
Suitable for readers who want to approach adventure classics in French and for secondary school students, as it includes supporting didactic material.
