  Heidi takes us on a journey to the eventful childhood of a good-hearted girl from the Swiss Alps. A warm and loving story, full of touching moments, it reaches children and adults alike. It was written in 1880 and published in two parts:1. Heidi's years of learning and travel.2. Heidi makes use of what she has learned.This English translation from 1915 has "an especial flavor, that very quality of delight in mountain scenes, in mountain people and in child life generally, which is one of the chief merits of the German original. The phrasing has also been carefully adapted to the purpose of reading aloud" (from the book's introduction). And thus, in this dramatic reading, Librivox volunteers bring this classic story to life with their voices. (summary by Rapunzelina)Cast:

  Keepers of the House - Survival...

  Lester del Rey

  A quiet journey through abandoned roads and silent cities becomes something far more unsettling when instinct pulls a lone survivor toward a place long left behind. What begins as simple movement turns into a slow, haunting exploration of a world shaped by human science and irreversible choices. The tension builds not through action, but through atmosphere — through memory, scent, and the uneasy sense that the past is not finished with those who remain. Every step forward carries emotional weight, as loyalty and survival begin to pull in opposite directions. 
  Keepers of the House is a deeply moving work of classic science fiction that unfolds from an unusual perspective, revealing the aftermath of humanity’s ambition without lectures or spectacle. The story examines what happens when scientific solutions solve the wrong problems too well, leaving behind a planet stripped of balance and meaning. Quiet, relentless, and profoundly human despite its viewpoint, this is science fiction that lingers — a meditation on devotion, loss, and endurance in a world where answers came too late. 
  Lester del Rey was one of the central figures of science fiction’s Golden Age, known not only for his writing but for his lasting influence as an editor and advocate for the genre. His stories often grounded speculative ideas in emotional reality, focusing on consequences rather than heroics. In Keepers of the House, del Rey delivers one of his most restrained and powerful works, proving that the most devastating science fiction doesn’t need explosions — only the courage to follow an idea to its end.
