Spanish term or phrase: la vida social
el regocijo de la vida social

En un paraje boscoso de Canadá, en una isla de la costa de Florida, algunos cientos de chimpancés que han sobrevivido a los laboratorios, a los circos, a las jaulas inmundas, tienen la ocasión de encontrarse en espacios comunes en los que pueden descubrir el regocijo de la vida social e incluso aventurarse en lo que no recuerdan haber conocido, la libertad de caminar al aire libre.

(Antonio Muñez Molina, 1956- "Nuestros semejantes")
