Bambi

Felix Salten

Sinopse

Bambi, a Life in the Woods is a book by Austro-Hungarian author Felix Salten, and was first published in 1923. The novel begins with Bambi's birth and early childhood, where he enjoys a carefree life with his mother. He meets other animals in the forest, including his cousins Faline and Gobo, as well as friends like Thumper the rabbit and Flower the skunk. As Bambi grows, he learns about the harsh realities of the forest when his mother teaches him about 'He' (what the animals call humans), who are dangerous and unpredictable. This warning is tragically reinforced when Bambi's mother is killed by a hunter, leaving Bambi to fend for himself. Bambi has been interpreted as a parable for the persecution of Jews in Europe, especially considering the context in which Salten, an Austrian Jew, wrote the novel. The book has had many adaptations, the most famous one being Disney's animated film.

Iris Mårtenson

Does Max Nilsson live here?" These words from a woman I had never seen before changed my family's lives entirely. This is a true story about a man who lived a double life: "A new day, a new life" was his motto. The man I fell in love with and who became my fiancé was a fraud. Being found out by chance brought out his madness. He started a campaign of persistent harassment, and I couldn't get him out of my life. The more I delved into his life, the more appalling things I discovered. He screamed at me, telling me I could have anything I wanted if I stopped. Instead, I decided to discover the entire truth and was shocked by what I found out. I ran for my life.
