Raa the Buzzard - The Adventure Games volume 34

Raa la Buse, 34th volume in the Adventure Games collection.

It was in July 1933 that Guy de Larigaudie held his first scout camp in Hautecombe. The impressions left by this stay are so strong that he brings back the subject of a splendid book, which he will write in a few weeks: Raa the buzzard. Guy's love for Nature is well known. The mysterious links that can unite man and animal are exalted in most of his adventure novels and alone explain his immense success with young people. Already in "L'îlot du grand étang" (JDA n°17), largely autobiographical, Guy makes us live intensely the capture, the training and the friendship that gradually unites him with a young falcon. But here, even more deeply, we will accompany the scouts in an extraordinary adventure. Because Raa, the white buzzard of Hautecombe, already has behind her a life full of perils and misfortunes. Men, naturally cruel, hate this animal, constantly set traps for it and want it dead. Despite these difficulties, Raa has become a superb and powerful bird of prey, when the scouts arrive... Thus begins a beautiful love story, a true hymn to the joy and grandeur of Nature. Here we enter into the natural mutual aid conceived by the Creator of all things, of which man is only temporarily deprived, and which he can sometimes find here below, like a foretaste of Heaven.
