I didn‘t know the original text of Bambi is so grim. I have a vague idea of the Disney‘s Bambi though I‘ve never watched it. From a fawn to adulthood, Bambi learns of survival, of growing up, & death. Salten showed us the many threats for the animals in the forests, including the most dangerous, the hunters. After finishing it, I was aware it‘s either an allegory for anti-Semitism in post-World War I, or human‘s treatment of nature. Or both maybe.

BarbaraBB I had no idea! 14mo
Suet624 How many of us who watched that movie as a child will never recover from the death of Bambi‘s mother? 🙋🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ I think that‘s why I became a vegetarian at a very young age. Any animal could be a baby‘s mom. 14mo
TheBookHippie So so good. 14mo

This was such a fascinating, powerful and haunting look at nature—its blessings and its harsh realities—from the perspective of one of the most hunted animals. My respect and empathy for all of nature‘s creatures have grown even stronger now.

I listened to this translation over the weekend and learned the original is not at all a children‘s story. I truly appreciated the descriptions and details, although I found the whole story a bit more melancholy than I expected. I thought there would be more joy in the beginning rather than the ever present anxiety and caution. The introduction by the translator of this edition was fantastic.

A book about the life in the forest, from Bambi is born until his adult years. This is different from the Disney version and probably gives a truer picture in how life in the forest is. I must admit that I did miss Thumper and Flower though.

Frustratingly/interestingly, so far with my translation, they have used the word “people” twice when they‘re really talking about other animals. Once about a hedgehog, another about a different animal, I think other deer.

Alas, this version is not the Jack Zipes‘ translation, but it‘s close & still lovely. I can‘t figure out who‘s translation, but it‘s a publisher from India.
Wood instead of forest
Of course instead of certainly
Oh, don‘t let me disturb you vs Well, I wouldn‘t want to disturb you.

I may switch…. Since Zipes‘ is supposed to be the best translation… I had my sister download the one on the right.

A dark fable about the beauty & brutality of nature. It's not at all what I was expecting; Disneyfied-Bambi has a lot to answer for! This is bittersweet, strange, & exerts a bewitching power. I think it's pretty unique because Salten depicts how all life on earth is subject to the forces outside of its control; but there's also a lesson there in not to exalt human ability (i.e. capacity to use technology for violence). #ChildrensClassicRead2023

batsy Thanks again @TheBookHippie for yet another excellent children's classic pick that I otherwise would not have read. My favourite chapter had to be the brief one between the "talking" leaves ? 1y
erzascarletbookgasm I‘ve never watched Disney‘s Bambi 🤷‍♀️. Great review Suba! 1y

batsy @tpixie I know, I had the same fear! I was reading it very slowly. But the style of writing makes the tough parts easy to bear. Not sure how to describe it; the dark parts are not erased, but the narrative makes it seem like a normal part of life and carries on. In a way it is helpful for the reader, too. 1y

I found this older copy at the library I work at and couldn't resist reading it.

The descriptions, the animal characters, and the way the writing makes you feel like you're in the meadow with the deer made this such a joy to read. It left me pondering our interactions with the world around us, especially in regards to animals and nature.

TheBookHippie Oh how wonderful!!! 💚 1y

For the #readchildrensclassics2023 we read Bambi. OMG. This story! This one touched me in ways I didn‘t anticipate. So many feels. As a child I didn‘t like Disney‘s movie Bambi so I was worried this book wouldn‘t resonate with me. @TheBookHippie thank you for picking this one.

TheBookHippie It‘s so wonderful. FYI I did not like Disney Bambi either.. 1y

Golly, I‘m on chapter 5 and concerned for the plight of deer. They can never feel safe, must always be on edge, even in joyful moments, must be watchful. Their fathers don‘t acknowledge their existence and their mothers can only hope they make it to adulthood. Where are the deer psychologists to help them work through these awful childhood traumas?

Who knew Bambi would provoke such thought and concern? #ChildrensClassicRead2023

tpixie @TheBookHippie a few paragraphs down discusses the translators 1y
tpixie This claims, he also wrote the book that the Disney movie the shaggy dog was based on

The Hound of Florence” concerns a young Austrian man destined to spend every other day of his life as the archduke‘s dog; in the end, he is stabbed to death, in his dog form, while trying to protect a courtesan he loves from assault. (In an even more drastic transformation than the one “Bambi” underwent, this story became, in Disney‘s hands, “The Shaggy Dog.”)

The ending was kind of unsatisfying but an enjoyable story for the most part. Similar themes as the Disney movie, but no Thumper or Flower at all. His mother is killed, but a lot of other animals are killed by men, too. Humans are referred to as He and Him. Ch 8 was a sad, little chapter about the leaves talking about what happens to themselves after they fall. The old stag, his father, helps him learn to stay safe and he takes over in that role.

TheAromaofBooks Yay!! Great work!! 4y

Final review for now - I have read Bambi several times, but it had been a while since I picked it up. Salten's original story is much more violent and realistic than the Disney version. In Disney, only humans cause trouble - in Salten's story, there are many enemies, because nature is pretty deadly. It's a good story, and a worthwhile one, but not one I would recommend for young readers.

I also don't know anyone who hunts the way it is ⬇️

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) described here, with a group of men banging trees and yelling to scare/herd all the wildlife. Not sure if that is something that happened back in the 20's when this was published, or is more common in Austria (where Salten lived), or what, but it definitely doesn't happen this way here in the Midwest!

This is book no. 11 for May's #BookSpinBonanza!

AmyK1 I have never read Bambi or seen the movie 😳 4y
Catherine_Willoughby The movie is so sad. My kids will not watch any classic Disney movie that is pre dated before the 1990s . Never knew there was a book . Love the classic disney movies. 4y

Geenee Interesting review ✍️💛 4y
TheAromaofBooks @AmyK1 - The movie is a little too cutesy for me, even as a child. And (spoiler alert) Bambi's mother gets killed by the hunters, and that was kind of terrifying when we were little!!! The book reminds me a bit of Watership Down or that type of story, where the animals are still quite animal in their actions. It's an interesting read, but probably only if you enjoy that style of story haha 4y
TheAromaofBooks @Catherine_Willoughby - I was never a big fan of the movie, either - and I know the part where Bambi's mother dies was really scarring as a child!!! But there are several older Disney movies that I love - Sleeping Beauty, Lady & the Tramp, The Aristocats, Robin Hood - lots of good ones in there, too!! 4y
TheAromaofBooks @Geenee - Thank you!!! 4y
AmyK1 lol I‘ve never read Watership Down either 😂 I did know about Bambi‘s mom in the movie though. 4y

Day 8 Nature

We were very lucky to have a deer visiting our street for a while. I was always very excited when it made an appearance! 🦌

britt_brooke Pretty boy! 5y
emilyrose_x @britt_brooke He was such a graceful animal (except when he was eating!) Unfortunately they've started to build houses in the fields beside us and he no longer visits 😢 5y

Trying to read some of the books that I missed as a child. Salten's Bambi is definitely more realistic than the Disney version. He does a great job of giving the animals a voice and emotions without it being cliche or distracting. Excellent illustrations as well.

Bradleygirl Isn't it awesome? I never really thought of it as a kids book. Like Peter Pan in the original, but less weird. 6y
Mollyanna @Bradleygirl I was surprised by how grown-up some of the themes were. I went in thinking it would be a expanded Disney version. It was very different. I'm glad I read it. 6y

This is a dark and beautiful fable, not at all what I was expecting. Much more brutal and bloody than modern children's books of course, but also with tons of depth. Apparently the nazis banned it for being anti-fascist.

Like a cross between a woodland fairy tale and Animal Farm, this definitely holds up as a book for grownups.

This was my "published in 1923" book for the #192019challenge.

IamIamIam I bought this last year! I'll have to bump it up to the top of the list! 7y

#marchintoreading Day19: #setinthe1920s
I struggled a bit with this prompt. I haven't read that many books set in this time period and the number of those books I've enjoyed is even smaller. So I've chosen to highlight a book that was written in the 1920s that I really enjoyed. This is NOT Disney's Bambi. There are scenes from this book that still haunt me.

diovival Has anyone read this? Thoughts on book vs movie? 7y
Lindy @diovival I haven't read it, but your post makes me want to. 7y
Lcsmcat @diovival The book is SO much better than the Disneyfication! It deals with some deep themes - more of a YA than a kids book. 7y
IamIamIam I got a great vintage copy last year! I almost pulled it out recently but I'll definitely bump it up now! 7y
diovival @IamIamIam Yes! Give in to it's siren call. 7y
