Summary

"This biographical study firmly positions the multi-faceted Salten within his Vienna context. Whenever possible, Salten speaks for himself in describing events of his own life and aspects of the bustling city around him, from the Habsburg court to the city slums, from the concert hall to the Prater folk's park. It reexamines his controversial role in the circle of Young Vienna authors, his difficult friendships with Arthur Schnitzler and Richard Beer-Hofmann, his presumed authorship of 'Josefine Mutzenbacher,' and his thoughts on animal communication as presented in his works such as 'Bambi.' A final chapter deals with the "Disneyfication" of Salten and the transformations of three of his novels into American family film fare." --
