Die Geschichten erzahlen von Kindern, die ihr Leben selbst in die Hand nehmen mussen: Der mutige Waisenjungen Rico aus dem Engadin macht sich ganz allein auf den Weg, um den Heimatort seines Vaters zu finden. Mithilfe seiner besten Freundin Stineli und der gutherzigen Frau Menotti erfahrt er in Peschiera am Gardasee von langst vergangenen Ereignissen, die seinem Leben eine uberraschende Wendung geben. Das Madchen Wiseli hingegen wird nach dem Tod der Mutter in das Haus von Vetter-Gotti und seiner Familie gebracht. Dort soll sie anstatt zur Schule zu gehen die Hausarbeit erledigen und muss sich auerdem noch bei den streitlustigen Brudern Chappi, Hans und Rudi behaupten.

Der Kinderbuchklassiker aus der SchweizDie kleine Heidi trgt ihr Herz auf der Zunge, sie ist vollkommen natrlich und spontan. Dafr wird sie von allen geliebt, vor allem vom einsiedlerischen Grovater auf seiner Alm. Nur eine Person hasst das Mdchen: Frulein Rottenmeier, die strenge Hausdame im fernen Frankfurt. Dort lernt das Waisenkind aus der Schweiz, dass "e;gute"e; brgerliche Erziehung darin besteht, die wahren Gefhle zu verleugnen - prompt wird Heidi krank. Zum Glck kann sie bald zum Grovater und in ihre Schweizer Idylle zurckkehren, wo sie sich ohne pdagogische Zwnge frei und ungebunden in der Natur entfalten kann. Diese anrhrenden Szenen erzeugten das Bild von der heilen Schweizer Bergwelt, das als Klischee bis heute weltweit nachwirkt. Der berragende Erfolg von Heidis Lehr- und Wanderjahre - meistens einfach Heidi genannt - verdankt sich sicherlich auch der fr das kindliche Auffassungsvermgen besonders einfhlsamen Erzhlweise der Autorin.

Johanna Spyri’s beloved tale of a delightful Swiss miss has captivated generations of readers. Set in the towering Swiss Alps, this story “for children and those who love children” tells of a cheerful, 5-year-old orphan who is sent to live with her hermit-like grandfather in a small hut high in a mountain pasture.Bursting with energy and an immense love of nature, Heidi proves to have remarkable, transforming powers over those people closest to her: Clara, a young lady from a wealthy German family, Peter, a goatherd, and Peter’s blind grandmother. Even Heidi’s pessimistic grandfather, the old Alm-Uncle, eventually accepts and enjoys the healing effects of Heidi’s innocence, sensitivity, and love.Translated into many languages, Heidi has also captured the hearts of countless motion picture and television audiences with its heartwarming story of the joys and sorrows of childhood. This abridged version of the novel retains all the enchantment of the original edition and is sure to charm young readers today as much as it did when first published over a century ago.
When Heidi, a cheerful 5-year-old orphan, comes to live with her grandfather in the Swiss Alps, she brings a bright ray of sunshine into the lives of the people around her. Young Peter, a goatherd, shares her love of nature, and his blind grandmother delights in the little girl's bubbling personality. Even Heidi's surly and hermit-like grandfather, the old Alm-Uncle, finds his long-lost grandchild a source of immense pleasure.A few years later, when she is forced to go to Frankfurt to serve as a companion for Klara, a well-to-do but sickly girl, Heidi must leave her beloved mountains and friends behind — an experience that proves highly traumatic to the innocent and sensitive little girl.
