Summary: "Des Waldbauern Friedel" by Margarete Lenk is a historical novel written during the early 20th century. The story is set in the year 1730, amidst the scenic landscapes of Salzburg, focusing on the life of a forest farmer named Andreas and his young orphaned grandson Friedel. The narrative revolves around themes of faith, oppression, and the enduring bond between the two characters as they navigate the challenges posed by an oppressive regime. The opening of the novel depicts an idyllic summer day where the elderly Andreas and his grandson Friedel are resting by a meadow, surrounded by their modest farm animals. Throughout their conversation, the tensions of the times emerge, particularly regarding the oppressive rule of the Archbishop Firmian, who threatens their Protestant faith and drives them from their home. Andreas educates Friedel about their beliefs, instilling in him the importance of faith, resilience, and the notion of familial loyalty. As the story progresses, the atmosphere darkens with the encroaching threat of persecution, foreshadowing the trials and tribulations they are soon to face.
