Bambi. Una vita nel bosco. Ediz. integrale

Bambi is one of Disney's darkest films, but it's lighthearted whimsy compared to the original novel which would require trigger warnings nowadays. Thumper is brutally slaughtered as gunshots reverberate throughout the meadow and pools of blood stain the daisies. Death is everywhere--even in the tree Leggi tutto

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

How come I have never read this little treasure before now? Bambi: A life in the Woods is a true classic of children’s literature, with passages of great joy and also of deep regret and sorrow; exhilarating, but also occasionally savage, and heavy with exquisite prose descriptions of the woods and c Leggi tutto

Read this book some time ago and all the family really enjoyed the story. A timeless classic that I needed tissues for when I read to the children. Pure nostalgia.

What a jewel this little book is! I did read it very many years ago but had forgotten just how wonderful and sensitive Felix Saltern's writing is.

When the name 'Bambi' is mentioned, everyone instantly thinks of the 1942 Disney movie. The loosely adapted animation is actually based on this 1923 novel by the Austrian author Felix Salten. Whilst the film hits the same story beats, the two couldn't feel more different. This is a dark harsher experie Leggi tutto

What a beautifully written masterpiece! I was completely surprised and overwhelmed by the gorgeous scenes of forest and woodland animals that so nimbly sprung to life from within these pages. Autumn, Winter, Spring, each passing of the seasons with their unique enchantment and starkness, were so viv Leggi tutto

I'm really not completely sure how I feel about this book now that I've finished it. On one hand, it is well written and there are scenes that illustrate the beauty and innocence of nature so vividly that one is able to picture them even without the wonderful illustrations of this particular version Leggi tutto
