Title Heidis Lehr- und Wanderjahre
Credits Produced by Gunther Olesch. HTML version by Al Haines.
Summary "Heidis Lehr- und Wanderjahre" by Johanna Spyri is a classic novel written during the late 19th century. The story follows a young orphan girl named Heidi, who is sent to live with her reclusive grandfather, often referred to as the Alm-Öhi, in the Swiss Alps. The book explores themes of nature, family, and the transformative power of love and kindness as Heidi navigates her new life among the mountains. The opening of the novel sets the stage for Heidi's journey as she arrives in the picturesque Swiss countryside. Accompanied by her guardian, Dete, Heidi is about to meet her grandfather, a character surrounded by mystery and local gossip due to his lone life in the mountains. As the characters converse, the narrative establishes tension around Heidi's placement with the Alm-Öhi, revealing her youth and innocence amid the warnings from her townspeople. The reader is introduced to several important elements, including Heidi's cheerful spirit and curiosity, her daunting journey uphill, and the loyalty of Peter, the goatherd. This vivid beginning captures the essence of Heidi's adventurous spirit and foreshadows a life filled with challenges and discoveries in the Alps. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
