Bambi

"...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." Considered to be one of the first environmental novels, Felix Salten's Bambi (1923) is a coming-of-age tale for the ages.
