Project Gutenberg 1998-06-01 Public domain in the USA. 51 Ouida 1839 1908 De La Rame, Louisa De la Ramée, Louise De la Ramée, Louisa Uida Ramé, Marie Louise Ramée, Maria Louise De la Ramee, Louise Ramé, Louisa de la Findelkind Produced by An Anonymous Volunteer, and David Widger "Findelkind" by Louise de la Ramee, also known as Ouida, is a poignant novel likely written during the late 19th century. Set against the backdrop of the majestic Tyrolean mountains, the narrative centers around a little boy named Findelkind, who is characterized by his dreamy disposition and profound sense of compassion. The book explores themes of innocence, faith, and the pursuit of nobility in a world that often seems indifferent to the struggles of the vulnerable. The story follows Findelkind, a nine-year-old boy, who, burdened by the legacy of his namesake from centuries past, embarks on a quest to emulate the charitable deeds of the original Findelkind. Despite his small stature and naive dreams, he strives to help the poor and build a monastery, believing he has a divine calling. However, as he sets out on his journey, he faces a harsh and unwelcoming world, where his good intentions often lead to ridicule and adversity. The narrative reaches a tragic climax when his actions unintentionally result in the loss of two beloved lambs, leading to a deep emotional turmoil within him. Ultimately, "Findelkind" is a touching exploration of childhood innocence, the complexity of intentions, and the painful lessons learned through experience.
