Heimatlos: Two stories for children and for those who love children - Heartwarming tales of resilience and love in Swiss landscapes

Johanna Spyri

Sinopse

In "Heimatlos: Two Stories for Children, and for Those Who Love Children," Johanna Spyri weaves together narratives that reflect her deep affection for childhood and the themes of belonging and identity. These two poignant tales showcase her distinctive literary style, marked by vivid imagery and a deep connection to nature, enhanced by her ability to depict children's inner worlds with sensitivity and insight. Set against the backdrop of rural Swiss landscapes, Spyri's stories resonate with both the simplicity and complexity of childhood experiences, providing readers with a rich exploration of home and emotional ties. Johanna Spyri, born in 1827 in Hirzel, Switzerland, devoted much of her writing to the exploration of childhood and community, influenced by her own experiences growing up in a nurturing environment. Her most beloved work, "Heidi," set the stage for her enduring reputation, where her deep empathy towards the struggles of children and her appreciation for pastoral life came to full fruition. Through "Heimatlos," she further addresses themes of displacement and longing, drawing upon her observations of social changes and the resilience of the human spirit. "Heimatlos" is a moving and beautifully crafted collection that will captivate readers of all ages. Spyri's tender narratives offer valuable lessons about love, friendship, and the concept of home, making it an essential read for parents, educators, and anyone invested in the lives of children. Immerse yourself in Spyri's world, where the joys and sorrows of childhood come alive with poignant clarity.

Lillian Trasher - The Greatest...

Janet Benge, Geoff Benge

"Do you mean to say you have no food for tomorrow?" the Egyptian man sputtered. "Well, yes," Lillian replied. The man exclaimed, "How awful! Will you be able to sleep tonight?" One of the orphan girls laughed out loud and said, "Why, Mama never has any food for tomorrow, and she never loses sleep over it!" "When Lillian Trasher founded Egypt's first orphanage, others thought that a lone American woman with no means of support would surely be killed or starve to death. But Lillian - certain of God's guidance - stood by her earlier promise to Him, 'If ever I can do anything for You, just let me know - and I'll do it.' In the midst of poverty, war, and deadly epidemics, Lillian faced each day with a heart of trust, modeling the life she hoped her children would someday live in their own homes. During fifty tumultuous years, the Mother of the Nile cared for thousands of desperate children, with unwavering faith that God does indeed look after the orphans.
