Among the fascinating aspects of Howsare’s cultural history is the impact of the Disneyfication of the Felix Salten novel “Bambi.”

After all, McKibben situates Felix Salten’s own writings in the context of “the turbulence of interwar Europe, with Bolshevism and fascism threatening all” and in the context of the struggles of an Austro-Hungarian Jewish author who “fled to Switzerland when the Nazis rose to power.”

Among the many works in this year’s public domain trove — now that their requisite 95-year period has ended under U.S. copyright law — are Felix Salten’s original “Bambi, a Life in the Woods” novel; titles by Ernest Hemingway, Langston Hughes and Dorothy Parker; classic silent films and Broadway songs; and about 400,000 pre-1923 sound recordings.
