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.

Bambi also faces the threat of Man, along with Man’s weapons that can hurt and kill any animal. Though Bambi fears for his life and the well-being of his friends and family, nothing, not even Man, can stop him from growing to become a mighty Prince of the Forest.

Kaufer konnen eine kostenlose gescannte Kopie des Originals (ohne Tippfehler) durch den Verlag. 1913. Nicht dargestellt. Auszug: ... Die Landsknechte Zu vielen Einrichtungen, die sich in der Folge als segensreich erwiesen, hat Maximilian den Grund gelegt, viele neue Unternehmungen, die sich trefflich bewahrten, verdanken ihr Entstehen einem Einfall dieses an Einfallen so fruchtbaren Mannes. So hat er das Toldatenwesen in Deutschland vollig verandert und in eine gewisse Ordnung gebracht. Vorher bestand ja eine Armee gewohnlich nur aus einem bunt zusammengewurfelten Haufen elender Mussigganger. Wurden Truppen ausgehoben, dann liefen allerlei Landstreicher, zugrunde gegangene Handwerker und sonstiger Pobel herbei. Die adeligen Herrn wie die stadtischen Gemeinwesen trachteten immer nur das verdachtige Gesindel, das bei ihnen auf den Gutern oder in den Strassen herumlungerte und oft genug Verbrechen auf Verbrechen beging, loszuwerden. Bildeten solche Leute die Truppen, so kann man sich wohl denken, wie wenig diese Leute, im Waffengebrauch unerfahren, auszurichten vermochten. Da sie zumeist unfahig waren, die Befehle, die einen Kampf ordnen, uberhaupt zu verstehen, und wenn sie schon etwas davon verstanden, unwissend blieben, ihn zu vollziehen, war es auch nur sehr schwer moglich, sie zu fuhren. Als Maximilian nun in jungen Jahren in Flandern Krieg fuhrte und Soldner aus England, aus Deutschland und aus der Schweiz befehligte, konnte er Vergleiche anstellen. Die Schweizer hatten damals schon ihre bestimmte Kriegsordnung und waren im Kampf um ihre eigene Freiheit schon wiederholt gegen eine grosse Feindesubermacht siegreich gewesen. Lernbegierig, angriffig, aufmerksam und klug, wie Maximilian immer sich gezeigt hat, nahm er sich die Schweizer augenblicklich zum Vorbild.
