Beautiful 'false spring' day in Colorado! Hit the trails with my daughter and the Grand 🥾
It was muddy af for most of the hike and as I was slippin' and slidin' I kept thinking about Women's Diaries of the Westward Journey, and again--I'm amazed anyone completed that journey!!
pickI 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.
pickThis 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.

pickI 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.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Beautiful nature writing that is at times dark, brooding and brutal.
pickA 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.
