The Original Bambi

In this audiobook, Peter Marinker narrates a fresh translation of Felix Salten's classic novel Bambi, aiming to present the story as it was originally intended. Unlike the idealized Disney adaptation, this version reveals a more somber and complex tale of life in the forest, where Bambi learns vital lessons about survival and resilience. Accompanied by a preface from John Chancer and an insightful introduction by Jack Zipes, it delves into Salten's life and the nuances of his experiences as a Jewish writer in early 20th-century Austria.
