Description: Bambi by Felix Salten, Mint Editions Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description "...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 Saltens Bambi (1923) is a coming-of-age tale for the ages.Since our inception in 2020, Mint Editions has kept sustainability and innovation at the forefront of our mission.

Author Biography Felix Salten (1869–1945) was an Austro-Hungarian author and literary critic most known for the environmental childrens novel Bambi. Born in Pest, Salten (at the time four weeks old) would relocate with his family to Vienna after the Jewish emancipation of the late eighteenth century. While there is little information about his early years, it is known that Salten was forced to quit school at the age of sixteen due to his fathers bankruptcy. This entry into the workforce would happen almost simultaneously with his initiation into the world of literary arts. Salten would join the "Young Vienna" movement and begin submitting his poetry and book reviews to journals before eventually finding full-time work as an art and theatre critic. At the turn of the twentieth century, Salten would publish his first collection of short-stories and soon after increased his literary output dramatically releasing at least one book a year as well as various plays, short stories and essay collections. It was not until fifty-four years of age that he published his most-well known novel, Bambi (1923). The book was received positively worldwide among critics, authors (such as John Galsworthy) and most importantly–children; later being made into Walt Disneys fifth animated feature film of the same name. That same year he would also publish an adventure novel for children titled, The Hound of Florence, inspiring another Walt Disney feature film, The Shaggy Dog (1959). Unfortunately Saltens life would be greatly impacted as the Nazi party rose to power in the 1930s, with his work–specifically Bambi–being banned in 1936 for being a, "political allegory on the treatment of Jews in Europe." For the safety of his wife and children, Salten relocated to Switzerland in 1938 and where he would spend his final years. While Saltens work would remain inaccessible for several decades to an international audience due to the Nazi partys censorship, his contributions to childrens literature cannot be understated.
