Victoria Levchenko’s Reviews > The Original Bambi: The Story of a Life in the Forest > Status Update

Apparently the early 20th century translation was by a man later revealed to be a Communist spy… and he butchered the text into an eco-conscious morale tale. Then Disney denatured it entirely.

This more faithful translation is… interesting if you interrogate the (false) divide between humans and nature. And are willing to viscerally empathize with forest animals for a few pages. Not for the faint of heart.
