Features: This is a small book suitable for all "unpleasant" children to read about "disobedience." The legendary life of a female pianist who dances with wolves. From the beginning, Hélène Grimaud sets the tone for her extraordinary story: from her childhood anecdotes, to her break with her Parisian family and friends, to her wandering in the United States and her confusion and loneliness in New York—until the day she met the wolf Arawa and her eyes met, she was reborn. We follow in her footsteps, traversing the path she has taken, witnessing the rebellious life journey of this internationally renowned French female pianist. A hymn to the hands, a fantastical animal fable, an incredible story, an unexpected biography unlike any other artist or musician. The book highlights the unique image of a true rebel from multiple perspectives. Wild Variations is an impassioned ode to music and freedom, an argument for reevaluating wolves and protecting nature. This is a small book suitable for all "unpleasant" children to read about "disobedience."
