| Summary | "Heidi" by Johanna Spyri is a novel written in the late 19th century. The book tells the story of a young Swiss girl named Heidi as she experiences the beauty of her mountain home and struggles with her life's circumstances, including her relationships with her grandfather and the various people she meets. At the start of the story, we are introduced to Heidi, a lively little girl, as she embarks on a journey with her caretaker, Dete, to the Alm Mountain where her reclusive grandfather, Alm-Uncle, lives. Heidi's innocent enthusiasm shines as she climbs the narrow path, despite wearing heavy clothing unsuitable for the warm climate. Upon meeting her grandfather, their dynamic is initially tense due to his gruff demeanor and the villagers' apprehensions about him. The opening portion sets the stage for Heidi's transition from a city dwelling to a life among the mountains, foreshadowing themes of childlike joy, family bonds, and the clash between the simple mountain life and worldly expectations.
