'Ogni giorno, nel caos ingarbugliato della vita, ci immergiamo, come in un fiume in piena diretto verso il mare, nella modernità e nella frenesia della vita quotidiana. Ogni giorno rischiando di perderci in uno o più sogni, sperando e fantasticando di venir trascinati oltre le banalità della vita, ci aggrappiamo a vane speranze. Ogni giorno, cercando la calma rasserenante, ci ritroviamo in balia di pensieri e solitudini ampliate, dove la via d'uscita è solo un miraggio. In questi giorni, inciampando nei ricordi, continuiamo a camminare, senza nessuna meta, cercando di ritrovare quelle 'brevi illusioni' di pura e consapevole forza. Non c'è vita senza sogni, non c'è esistenza senza fantasia, ma esiste un mondo dove cercare quella utopica libertà. Quindi, non ci resta che, zaino in spalle, partire. Camminando.'

The forest is a whole different world…Felix Salten’s classic story of wild and tame animals coming together is brought vividly to life in this refreshed edition, ideal for collecting.

To the animals of Lodge Farm, the woods are a forbidden place filled with danger and uncertainty. For the wild animals in the forest, the farm is just as frightening, because Man lives there. The two worlds are next to one another, but couldn’t be further apart.

When the groups, tame and wild, begin to interact, each begins to question how life would be different on the other side. Manni the donkey ventures into the forest for an adventure, while a doe and her two fawns seek the safety of the barn when poachers threaten them in the woods. Will the animals choose to stay in their new lives? Or will the call of home be too great?
