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.
The beloved story of a deer in the forest reaches a new generation
of readers with a fresh new look.
Bambi's life in the woods begins happily. There are forest animals
to play with and Bambi's twin cousins, Gobo and beautiful Faline.
But winter comes, and Bambi learns that the woods hold danger--and
things he doesn't understand. The first snowfall makes food hard to
find. Bambi's father, a handsome stag, roams the forest, but leaves
Bambi and his mother alone.
Then there is Man. He comes to the forest with weapons that can
wound an animal. Bambi is scared that Man will hurt him and the
ones he loves. But Man can't keep Bambi from growing into a great
stag himself, and becoming the Prince of the Forest.
Repackaged with a vibrant, fresh cover for the first time in two
decades, this timeless tale of a young deer's woodland life is an
ideal collectible.
