| Summary | "An heiligen Wassern: Roman aus dem schweizerischen Hochgebirge" by J. C. Heer is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story is set in the Swiss highlands and revolves around the village life, the challenges faced by its inhabitants, and local legends about miraculous water. Central to the narrative are the relationships among the villagers, particularly focusing on the lives of the children Vroni, Josi, and Binia, as well as their families and the impact of their harsh environment. At the start of the novel, readers are introduced to the picturesque but rugged setting of the Swiss highlands, where lush valleys and towering mountains exist side by side. We meet various characters, including Presi, a farmer who is seen as somewhat aloof and wealthy, and the wild girl Binia, who stands out with her wild beauty and carefree demeanor. Throughout the opening passages, the connection between nature and the lives of the villagers is evident, alongside a growing sense of tension brought about by local legends of a fateful water phenomenon known as the "helige Wasser". As the children interact with each other and their environment, the looming threat of natural disasters and personal relationships begins to shape their destinies in this tightly-knit community.
