Bambi is quickly confronted with hardships and danger, including the loss of his nurturing mother to human cruelty. The book offers a lot more psychological depth than Disney’s near-botched version, where entrenched violence, key characters, and scenes have been deliberately removed.Īs Salten’s most famous novel, Bambi, gives voice to animals inhabiting a rich forest, among which namesake Bambi, a curious and endearing roe deer fawn whose life we follow from birth to mature age.

His works were deeply pessimistic and cynical, challenging the values of the Enlightenment, Romanticism and Christianity. Lovecraft has developed a cult following for his Cthulhu Mythos, a series of loosely interconnected fictions featuring a pantheon of human-nullifying entities, as well as the Necronomicon, a fictional grimoire of magical rites and forbidden lore. Those who genuinely reason, like his protagonists, gamble with sanity. Lovecraft's major inspiration and invention was cosmic horror: life is incomprehensible to human minds and the universe is fundamentally alien. Howard Phillips Lovecraft, of Providence, Rhode Island, was an American author of horror, fantasy and science fiction. 6/29/2023 0 Comments Living shadows cornelia funkeEarly life Ĭornelia Funke was born in 1958 in the town of Dorsten in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany to Karl-Heinz and Helmi Funke.

Skybound first started working on a series back in 2016 with Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman. The story unfolds over 10 books with two story arcs: “The Corwin Cycle” and “The Merlin Cycle.” The series has sold more than 15 million copies globally.įirst published in 1970, The Chronicles of Amber has been on a long road to getting adapted. The story follows Corwin, “who awakens on Earth with no memory, but soon finds he is a prince of a royal family that has the ability to travel through different dimensions of reality (called “shadows”) and rules over the one true world, Amber. All roads lead to Amber, and I’m happy to be walking them.” I’ve carried the story of Corwin in my head for over 40 years, and I’m thrilled to partner with Skybound and Vincent Newman to bring these worlds to life. While Martin is not involved in the project, Colbert responded to his enthusiasm nonetheless: “George R.R.

But one thing they do have in common is that they’re both drawn to sad things. She comes from a life of poverty and neglect he comes from a family of wealth and privilege. Samson and Beyah have nothing in common on the surface. Beyah’s plan is to keep her head down and let the summer slip by seamlessly, but her new neighbor Samson throws a wrench in that plan. Forced to reach out to her last resort, Beyah has to spend the remainder of her summer on a peninsula in Texas with a father she barely knows. With only two short months separating her from the future she’s built and the past she desperately wants to leave behind, an unexpected death leaves Beyah with no place to go during the interim.
