Salten's Jewish interests came to the fore in his novel Simson (1928), and in essays about his visit to Palestine, Neue Menschen auf alter Erde (1925). This became a juvenile classic and was filmed by Walt Disney.
His international fame rests on his best-known animal story, Bambi (1923), about a deer's life in the forest.
He also wrote novellas and essays such as Wiener Adel (1905), Das Burgtheater (1922), and Geister der Zeit (1924). Salten's novels were notable for their humor, satire, and eroticism. However, his own plays, from the anti-militarist Der Gemeine (1899) and the comedy Das staerkere Band (1912), to Louise von Koburg (1932), had no lasting success. As a dramatic critic, he made and unmade literary and stage reputations and his best essays on the theater were collected in Schauen und Spielen (1921).
