Suffering a serious car accident or being the victim of a terrorist attack can break your body and leave you with severe and lasting psychological wounds. Being attacked by a brown bone in the midst of the prodigious and immense nature of the Kamchatka Peninsula, Russia, can also leave your body destroyed and can mark you with psychological wounds that are difficult to heal and do not easily erase. But there is something else here. The brutal encounter between the wild animal and the defenseless human being represents the dissolution of the boundary that separates the pure biology of the beast and the moral and ideological world of the person. It is the embrace—unnatural and extremely natural: wonder and monstrosity—of two worlds, the fusion between the atavistic past and the modern present. This is how anthropologist Nastassja Martin (Grenoble, France, 1986) explains it in her book Believe in wild animals.
