| Summary |
"Bambi" by Felix Salten is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows the life of a young deer named Bambi as he grows up in a lush forest, learning about his surroundings, relationships, and the dangers of the world. The narrative anthropomorphizes the wildlife, allowing readers to explore themes of nature, survival, and the cycle of life from Bambi's innocent perspective. The opening of "Bambi" introduces readers to the titular character shortly after his birth in a secluded thicket, where he experiences the warmth and care of his mother. As he begins to take his first steps, the surrounding forest comes alive with the sounds and sights of nature. Bambi's curiosity leads him to question his identity and the world around him, prompting interactions with his mother and other animals. The text simultaneously emphasizes the beauty of the forest while hinting at the hidden dangers that lie ahead, establishing a sense of wonder and vulnerability that will shape Bambi's journey throughout the narrative.
