MY FAVORITE BOOK
MY favorite book is Heidi. Heidi is an amusing story of a little girl and her life in alps. Johanna Spyri s the author of Heidi published in japan in 1962.
At first glance, Heidi is certainly an emotional story dealing with fears and the anxiety of a child to be without parents and to be displaced. But later on we see that a child moves the world and its surroundings.
The orphan child Heidi first lives with her aunt Dete but Dete would like to focus on her career. So she brings Heidi to her grandfather an odd old man( Uncle Alm). Uncle Alm is kind hearted but mistrusts anyone & wants to keep the child from all evils of the world. So he refuses to send her to school; instead she goes to pasture with a shepherd boy, Peter. This finds a sudden end when aunt Dete comes and brings Heidi to Frankfurt to stay with a rich family and learn something. But Heidi becomes homesick & she is being sent back to her home.
Heidi speaks to us with a voice of love and we shouldn't be tire listening to her. Heidi seems to be loved as a child of nature, a symbol for romanticism and lost innocence. Johanna Spyri wants to empower people to accept to new challenges while keeping a good heart as Heidi, who is able to read stories to Peter's blind grandmother and even moves her unsociable grandfather to return into the village community.
Story of Heidi tries to give orientation in a world shaken by a rapid social change, a world in disorder that makes people fell insecure and this is exactly what makes the story attractive today in view of neoliberalism and globalization.
