Bambi: The True Story｜In Bookstores

Michaël Cailloux seizes the opportunity of the centenary of the book Bambi with the publication of his new work Bambi: The True Story, a touching adaptation of Felix Salten's original novel originally published in 1923.

Bambi, the iconic novel by Felix Salten, will captivate readers with its timeless story and contemporary relevance. First published in 1923, this poetic and profound tale has transcended the decades and retains all its modernity, offering valuable reflections and lessons for our time. The themes explored in the novel, such as the relationship between man and nature, the vulnerability of youth and the fragility of the ecological balance, resonate deeply with contemporary concerns. Bambi is born in spring, caressed by the young shoots of hazel trees, the shade of the great oaks and the reassuring scent of ferns. Guided by his mother, his first months are full of discoveries: the rustling of leaves, the song of birds, the beauty of flowers. But soon, the harsh winter arrives and Bambi must learn to live alone, confronted with the real dangers of the forest.

The true story of Bambi is 100 years old and yet remains relevant today. It tells the story of the wild world: a forest where hunger, danger, and competition reign, evoking the natural balance of an environment, but also the impact of human beings on nature and biodiversity.
