| Summary | "Dora" by Johanna Spyri is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers around Dora, a young girl deeply attached to her father, Major Falk, who is gravely ill, and explores themes of love, loss, and the innocence of childhood as they navigate their difficult circumstances. As the novel unfolds, it follows Dora's journey as she copes with her father's illness and their subsequent move to live with relatives. At the start of the story, Major Falk and his daughter Dora are introduced as they take daily walks together in a park, where they share tender moments despite his deteriorating health. Dora, having lost her mother at a young age, is devoted to her father, and their bond is depicted through their conversations and shared memories of happier times. The opening chapters also hint at the impending changes in their lives, as Major Falk moves to Karlsruhe to seek support from his step-sister and prepares Dora for life after his death, leaving her to confront her shifting reality as she later comes to live with her aunt and uncle. Throughout, the narrative captures Dora’s resilience and longing for connection, setting the stage for a heartfelt exploration of her expectations and challenges ahead.
