Price: US$750.00 + shipping

Description: First American edition. Cloth with dust jacket and rare gift slipcase. First printing of 10,000 copies. Foreword by John Galsworthy. Illustrated by Kurt Wiese. The first edition of the first translation of Bambi into English. By adding the figures of the two previous German editions and the subscription of the Book of the Month Club for 50,000 copies (which they eventually sold and far more so), Simon & Schuster arrived at the statement that their printing was of the "75th-85th Thousand." This copy has a later issue dust jacket with Bambi within a wreath, and is enclosed in a slipcase which matches in main elements the design of the dust jacket. The back panel of this jacket prints press opinions. This gift box was presumably meant for the Christmas season business and is extremely scarce. The ensemble is on the whole very good indeed, with very minimal wear to the slipcase. Previous owner's name in red pencil on front free endpaper, pencil color mostly blends in with the trees in the design, a couple of pages have a thumbnail-sized stain in the middle of the lower edge.

Salten, Felix; Wiese, Kurt. BAMBI. Simon and Schuster, New York, 1928.

Price: US$1600.00 + shipping

Description: First printing of the first trade edition in English, in the scarce original dust jacket (expertly restored). Like many great children's books, Bambi was originally published to an admiring audience of adults, who in time found themselves too sensitive for the terror and brutality of Life in the Woods. To generations scarred in childhood by the softened Disney adaptation, it may seem scarcely credible that Salten's original novel could be still more great and terrible in its presentation of a fawn's first bewildered encounters with pain, death, and sex - but it is. Though BAMBI is easily read as an environmentalist or anti-hunting fable, more recent critics suggest "the text is really best understood not when dehistoricized (as presented by Disney), but rather when read within the specific context of Vienna of the 1920s, as a text that has to do with anti-Semitism and the struggle for a Jewish identity." Salten, born Siegmund Saltzmann, was a Viennese theatre critic, novelist, and screenwriter; author of two other books adapted into Disney films (PERRI and THE HOUND OF FLORENCE (The Shaggy Dog)); assumed author of the notorious erotic novel JOSEPHINE MUTZENBACHER; and nemesis of Karl Kraus. After his works were banned by Hitler in 1936, he and his family emigrated to Switzerland, where he remained until his death. A lovely copy of this "little masterpiece" (Galsworthy). 8'' x 5.5''. Original gilt-stamped green cloth with gilt-titled spine. In original unclipped ($2.50) dust jacket. Top edge stained yellow, pictorial endpapers. Preceded by a limited edition of 1000 copies; "First printing in America, July 1928" to title page verso. Black and white illustrations throughout by Kurt Wiese. Translated from the German by Whittaker Chambers, with a foreword by John Galsworthy. [2], 293, [1] pages. Minor bumping, slight spine lean; faint evidence of sticker removal rear paste-down. Jacket toned, with expert restoration to spine and extremities. Near fine in very good plus jacket.
