Synopsis

Complex, thought provoking, and beautifully written, Felix Salten’s original Bambi isn’t the simplistic tale told in film. While Bambi grows and matures, he sees that the creatures of the forest are constantly forced to come to terms with their own mortality, for death comes unexpectedly and frequently. At times, the thundering third leg of “He” is heard, killing the unwary and exposed. Bambi learns the vital tools to survive in a world that is perpetually hostile.

Book Review Bambi, a children's / young adult book published in 1923 by Felix Salten, is very different than the one we've seen from Walt Disney. Many have seen the cartoon versions, felt sad for the death and know it as a classic "growing-up" book for kids. But it's really a whole lot mo......more

Este libro me ha gustado más de lo que esperaba y sorprendido muchísimo. Es muy melancólico y triste, habla de la muerte, la soledad y la relación del ser humano con los animales. Está contado de una manera muy especial, realmente sientes que los animales se comportan como animales y sienten como el......more
