Bambi - Felix Salten

. .

Résumé :
...Bambi was as though bewitched. He was completely beside himself with pleasure. He was simply wild. He leaped into the air, three, four, five times. He had to do it. He felt a terrible desire to leap and jump. He stretched his young limbs joyfully. His breath came deeply and easily. He drank in the air. The sweet smell of the meadow made him so wildly happy that he had to leap. . . For the woodland creatures, life in the forest is as charming and harmonious as it is treacherous and uncertain. The newest roe deer, born on a beautiful day in spring, is no exception to this rule and must learn to survive on his own after the death of his mother. Bambi, as he is known, is guided with reluctant kindness by the oldest and largest stag in the forest, Old Prince, who teaches the fawn how to navigate his home and the tricks of He.

Biographie:
later being made into Walt Disney's fifth animated feature film of the same name. That same year he would also publish an adventure novel for children titled, The Hound of Florence, inspiring another Walt Disney feature film, The Shaggy Dog (1959). Unfortunately Salten's life would be greatly impacted as the Nazi party rose to power in the 1930s, with his work-specifically Bambi-being banned in 1936 for being a, political allegory on the treatment of Jews in Europe. For the safety of his wife and children, Salten relocated to Switzerland in 1938 and where he would spend his final years. While Salten's work would remain inaccessible for several decades to an international audience due to the Nazi party's censorship, his contributions to children's literature cannot be understated.
