Translation
Felix Salten’s 1928 Bambi, a Life in the Woods (German: Bambi: Eine Lebensgeschichte aus dem Walde) is a coming-of-age novel. The Jack Zipes English translation came out in 2022. Illustrations are by Alenka Sottler.
Bambi’s life is full of wonders… because Bambi is a newborn fawn and the full horror of woodland existence has yet to be made clear to him.
