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. On vit avec les cerfs de la forêt, avec les biches, avec les faons… On les entend, on les respire, on les voit, on devient leurs amis, on a peur avec eux lors des terribles scènes de chasse, on partage leurs affrontements… L’empreinte de la guerre, l’odeur de la mort, la peur du vide, la fascination devant la beauté de la nature, tout s’entremêle.
