A new, beautifully illustrated translation of Felix Salten's
celebrated novel Bambi-the original source of the beloved story
Most of us think we know the story of Bambi-but do we? The Original
Bambi is an all-new, illustrated translation of a literary classic
that presents the story as it was meant to be told. For decades,
readers' images of Bambi have been shaped by the 1942 Walt Disney
film-an idealized look at a fawn who represents nature's
innocence-which was based on a 1928 English translation of a novel
by the Austrian Jewish writer Felix Salten. This masterful new
translation gives contemporary readers a fresh perspective on this
moving allegorical tale and provides important details about its
creator. Originally published in 1923, Salten's story is more
somber than the adaptations that followed it. Life in the forest is
dangerous and precarious, and Bambi learns important lessons about
survival as he grows to become a strong, heroic stag. Jack Zipes's
introduction traces the history of the book's reception and
explores the tensions that Salten experienced in his own life-as a
hunter who also loved animals, and as an Austrian Jew who sought
acceptance in Viennese society even as he faced persecution. With
captivating drawings by award-winning artist Alenka Sottler, The
Original Bambi captures the emotional impact and rich meanings of a
celebrated story.
