Adapted from the novel THE ORIGINAL BAMBI, THE STORY OF A LIFE IN THE FOREST by FÉLIX SALTEN
“The Original Bambi” recounts the first years of a fawn and, alongside his feelings of wonder, the trials he faces and which shape him: dangers, mourning, solitude, metamorphoses, challenges, and always the fear of being hunted and killed.
The story, oscillating between anthropomorphism (the animals speak) and naturalism (the observations of nature are magnificent), plunges us into a forest rustling with multiple emotions, intense experiences and contrasting sensations experienced by a society of animals, a mirror of our humanity, at once violent, cruel and fragile, and endowed with prodigious resilience.
