The Discovery of the Wolf Boy

In January 1800, a feral child is discovered in the village of Aveyron, France, shocking the local community. Initially perceived as subhuman and animal-like due to his appearance and behavior, the child captures the attention of local officials and residents alike. After being found in a cloth dyer's workshop, he is taken to live with an old widow who attempts to care for him, but the boy's refusal to communicate or engage with people raises questions about his origins. The child's existence prompts extensive debates about his future and raises awareness of the complexities surrounding human development and behavior in extreme conditions.
