{"product_id":"bambi-9781681376318","title":"Bambi","description":"\u003cb\u003eNewly retranslated, this elemental novel about danger, loss, and coming of age in the natural world was the source material for the classic Disney animated film.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eBambi\u003c\/i\u003e first came out in Vienna a hundred years ago, the work of Felix Salten, a Viennese litterateur, journalist, and man about town, and was an immediate success with readers. An English translation soon appeared with an introduction by the Nobel Prize winner John Galsworthy and was widely and well reviewed. Later Walt Disney made his famous movie of the book, and as a consequence Salten's intimate, delicate, poetic, and gripping tale of forest life, a book that captures both the calm and the disquiet of the animal world, has come to be thought of as a children's book. \u003ci\u003eBambi\u003c\/i\u003e is certainly a book that children can enjoy, but it is also a moving and lasting contribution to the literature of the natural world. In Damion Searls's new translation the fawn Bambi and his mother, the groves and thickets of the forest, the open and dangerous space of the great field, the ever-present threat of the human--the whole intricate weave of life and death that Salten handles so deftly--all come alive for a new generation of readers. Paul Reitter's afterword discusses the surprising political readings to which Salten's fable of the woods was subjected.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New York Review of Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/20\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781681376318\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 152\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.81lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader Quiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e6 \/ Bambi: A Life in the Woods (English)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 4.9 \/ \u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Middle Grade \/ \u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 6\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Felix Salten","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42303904514229,"sku":"9781681376318","price":14.41,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_1de11496-1c5f-411c-a029-c25cab74e422.jpg?v=1658843365","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/bambi-9781681376318","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
