Résumé anglais "Wild Children of the Wild Woods" In one of Kipling's Just So Stories, the wild is "something that, though not belonging to the household, lives there". Since "everywhere is the same for him", the Cat-who-leaves-alone takes us for a walk through Man's special home space, where the biggest experiment of the century is being conducted on life : the domestication of maritime species for productive purposes. But what are the "Wild Children of the Wild Woods" who haunt the domus doing ? And what are all these solitary vagabonds, who seem to flout Man's law and order for ever and always, trying to tell us ? The savage or the obstinate return of a living being that has been manifestly subjected to human beings' productive order ?
