[German] - Johanna Spyri - Heidi

"Heidi, unsere Titelheldin, ist ein zehnjähriges Mädchen und lebt, da sie keine Eltern mehr hat, bei ihrem Großvater in den Bergen auf einer Alm, wo es noch Geißen, viel Sonne, saftige Wiesen und bunte Blumen gibt. Unbeschwert und glücklich lebt Heidi in dieser herrlichen Landschaft der Schweizer Berge, bis sie eines Tages von ihrer Pflegetante Dete in die Großstadt Frankfurt gebracht wird. Hier soll sie dem gleichaltrigen Mädchen Klara, das gehbehindert und an einen Rollstuhl gefesselt ist, Gesellschaft leisten. So gut sich die beiden Mädchen gleich vom ersten Tag an auch verstehen, kann sich Heidi doch nicht recht an das Leben in der Großstadt gewöhnen. Immer mehr plagt sie schreckliches Heimweh ..."

Heidi

"First published in 1881, the subtitle of this book tells us that it was written “for children and those who love children”. Heidi, a 5-year-old orphan, is handed off by her young Aunt Dete to live with her grandfather in the Swiss Alps. Though her new life is foreign, Heidi soon falls in love with her grandfather, and he with her. They share a contented life of goat-herding. But when Grandfather refuses to allow Heidi to attend school in the small village below, quarrels ensue. Heidi’s young aunt returns to remove her from her grandfather, and Heidi is sent to live as a hired lady’s companion to wealthy Clara, a wheelchair-bound child in Frankfurt. Heidi is loved by Clara, but not by the others within Clara’s home, who consider her ill-mannered. She becomes severely homesick and the wealthy family’s doctor recommends her return to the mountains.
