"Bambi, a Life in the Woods" is a 1923 Austrian novel by Felix Salten, later translated into over 30 languages. The story, initially targeting adults, is seen as a parable of Jewish persecution in Europe. It was well-received and considered a classic, being one of the first environmental novels. The novel was adapted into various forms, including a Walt Disney animated film in 1942. The English translation was praised, but there were objections to its marketing strategy. The novel faced a copyright dispute, with the American copyright expiring in 2022. A sequel was written, and the original novel received positive reviews for its prose and environmental themes. The impact of "Bambi" as one of the first environmental novels is noted, and it has been adapted into films, ballet, and theater productions. A children's book adaptation was also published, aiming to retain the original novel's lyrical feel.
