et éthologue, Boris Cyrulnik a répondu aux questions de Stéphan Bureau avec humour et lucidité. Vulgarisateur de talent, il a su rendre intelligibles les enjeux psychologiques et sociaux de la modernité. Sans jamais déroger à la simplicité engageante dont il a fait sa marque de commerce, il se révèle un fin observateur de la comédie humaine du XXIe siècle. Stéphan Bureau dévoile le côté pudique du chercheur qui projette surtout l'image d'un bon vivant au verbe facile. Ainsi, il aborde avec Cyrulnik des sujets aussi délicats que son évasion du joug nazi à l'âge de trois ans et la mort de ses parents dans les camps de concentration. Également, l'entretien nous apprend que le père du concept de "résilience" considère ne pas avoir réussi à être résilient lui-même. Le temps d'une entrevue, de quelques jours passés dans son village, à Toulon-La-Seyne, le scientifique, dont la démarche a été d'étudier l'homme comme on étudie les animaux, est à son tour étudié dans son milieu naturel. Un entretien lumineux, rien de moins!" -- 4e de couv.L'éolien: pour qui souffle le vent? ((Actuels))
