Translation of P'tit-bonhomme vol. 1. Produced by K.F. Greiner, Markus Brenner and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "Der Findling. Erster Band." by Jules Verne is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story unfolds in Ireland, particularly focusing on the somber atmosphere of Connaught, where we encounter a young boy dubbed "Findling" who has been subjected to a cruel fate. The narrative explores themes of poverty, exploitation, and the search for identity, as Findling is discovered in a distressing situation that hints at deeper social issues. At the start of "Der Findling," the reader is introduced to the bleak living conditions in Westport, a town in Connaught. The opening chapter describes Thornpipe, a callous puppeteer, who parades through the streets with his cart and a young boy, unknowingly drawing attention to the child's plight. When the townspeople discover the boy, they realize he has been kept in a state of servitude and mistreatment by Thornpipe. The boy's name is revealed to be "Findling," and despite the harsh realities surrounding him, there is a glimmer of hope as the community rallies to protect him from his tormentor. This opening sets the stage for a story that promises to delve into the struggles of Findling as he seeks to escape from a life of hardship and find his place in the world.
