Beim Weiden-Joseph (Ungekürzt) Audiobook

Beim Weiden-Joseph ist eine Erzählung aus dem Jahr 1886 von Johanna Spyri. Der Weiden-Joseph hatte einen einzigen Sohn, den Sepp, der immer ein gutmütiger, aber ein wenig leichtsinniger und unsteter Mensch gewesen war. Wo er sich jetzt aufhielt, wussten die alten Eltern selbst nicht, schon seit sechs Jahren war er fort von daheim und hatte während der Zeit wenig von sich hören lassen.

Heidi

Hear Heidi if you’ve ever longed to see the Swiss mountain slopes. This story transports the listener from the fine air and freedom of the mountaintop to the confines of Frankfurt, back to the peaks again, bounding in flowered fields with goats at your heels and sky utterly surrounding you. We meet Heidi when she is 5, led up the mountain by her aunt who has raised the orphan but must leave now for a position in Frankfurt. In a mountain cottage overlooking the valley is Heidi’s grandfather, and there with him the girl’s sweet, free nature expands with the vista. The author’s voice is straightforward, and so is our reader’s, with the child’s wonder, devotion, and sometimes humorous good intentions. When Heidi is taken from the mountains and nearly doesn’t make it back again, the most humorous as well as most heart-wringing scenes occur. All she learns during her absence from the mountain she brings back as seeds that will grow to benefit everyone around her.

Johanna Spyri (Author), Kara Shallenberg (Narrator)

Born in a rural area of Switzerland, Spyri moved to Zurich upon her marriage and in her homesickness, wrote her most famous novel, ""Heidi"" in just a month. DETAILS COMMENTARY Reviews for Alcazar AudioWorks' production of Heidi Heidi is an old friend of mine, one of the first books bought specifically for me and a story I read over and over again as I was growing up. I loved to read about the five-year-old orphan who was dumped on her unknown grandfather by her apparently unloving aunt. I delighted in watching her play with the goats and goatherd, develop a relationship with the old man, and grow into a strong, young mountain girl. With every reading, I grew irritated with the aunt when she reappeared and interrupted their idyllic life, taking Heidi away to live with a wealthy family in a distant city, and rejoiced when surprising events made the way for my young friend to return home again. There is more to the story, of course, and I still love it all, so I was genuinely intrigued when I received this unabridged recording from Alcazar AudioWorks. I had hopes that it would prove to be a delightful option to pulling out my own, worn, copy of the book, and it did! Bobbie Frohman does a wonderful job of reading the story, adjusting her voice slightly to present the various characters. Outstanding! Reviewed By: Rena Arlen - EHO Eclectic Homeschool Online "
