Attraverso i suoi occhi e la sua voce narrante racconta come la sua dipendente Federica (spesso definita "l'incapace"), cerchi invano di soddisfare le sue infinite necessità.

Sans doute une des plus belles œuvres de l’auteur, rescapé de la Grande Guerre, désormais au Panthéon. Une ode à la liberté, lucide, magistrale, où l’on partage l’incroyable ascension d’un cerf, le Rouge, chef de la harde.
