Thanks to all the bowdlerized, Disneyfied stupidifications it's been through, poor old Heidi's story gets a bum rap. In fact, Heidi is no sap, and more to the point, her friend Clara with the wheelchair is no timid Victorian dying violet. Somebody plonked this great big book in my lap when I was seven years old, a good reader, and in need of something heavy to hold me down on a long car trip. It worked; it took me off from my flat prairie summer to a land of purple mountain peaks and jumping ...more

My sister and I were so enamored of this book when we were little. With that in mind, I'll let my four-star rating stand. However, I recently ran across a copy of the book and thought it might be fun to read it again after all these years. Nostalgia and all that, right? I was sickened by the over-the-top flowery writing. Gaaaaag me with syrupy sentiment! I was also surprised by all the gooey religious references, which I didn't remember AT ALL from my childhood readings of it. I don't obj...more

I never read this book as a kid. It sounded too girly. But it's a classic, so gave it a shot.

It's a slower read, for normal juvenile lit--owing to the fact, I'm sure, that it was written more than 100 years ago. Compared to other things I've read from the same time period, the book is a page turner! And it's a page turner compared to most of the adult fare I read, too. But it's not a lightweight book in terms of wordiness, length, and descriptions.

When I was 14, I ran away from home and lived in various places for a year. Fortunately, I had a family that made sure it wasn't on the street, but I was no less lonely or frightened with a roof over my head. I wasn't raised in any particular faith either - probably not for lack of trying (I remember going to church, just not liking it much or being made to keep going) - and somehow I found a great deal of strength and comfort in this book.

A few gems: "Now the children sat up in bed and said each her evening prayer" (284); "'Where are the precipices?' asked the child, but did not stir from her seat, for with every breeze the sweet perfume was wafted to her nostrils" (32); "His father, who followed the same business, and was also called goat-Peter, had been killed while felling wood the year before. His mother, whose name was Brigette, was always spoken of as goat-Peterin, or goat-Peter's mother, from the connection; and for everybody far and near his blind grandmother had the same name." (11) (I had to type that last part and read it out loud to understand that people ("far and near") were calling the grandmother goat-Peterin, as well. Because her son had been a goat-herder.) I heard there's a new translation out that is awesome. I think that this one is sweet, but distracting. Very very distracting.

I am considering "translating" the translation into what I think the author might've been trying to say. And then I want to compare that to the "good" translation.

b) This book is really triggering for me, and I knew it was going to be. One of my murky memories about my childhood is that we watched the movie during my church when I was very very little, and I identified with Heidi very very much. It was really creepy reading the book with this in mind, particularly because I was being abused by a grandfather-figure at the time.

This is not likely to be a problem for others (I hope!), and it is actually contributing to my (slightly) positive review-- it is helping me to explore my painful past! I am really learning a lot about how I've identified on an unconscious level with:

c) HEIDI THE MIRACLE-WORKER!!!!

I miss grad school so much. I want to be writing a term paper on this book. Here are my notes:

Heidi = Jesus?
Heidi is a type, not a character. She doesn't develop, and we mostly "hear" other characters telling us how wonderful she is (or in the case of the villain, how awful she is). We aren't "allowed" to form our own opinions of what Heidi is doing because Spyri makes sure we know!!!!! by having all and sundry (everybody far and near!) telling us constantly what a joy she is and how she makes life worth living. One character even says that she will die when Heidi stops coming to visit her.
Heidi (as opposed to the character) is really just a combination of a memoir and a parable: here is how beautiful it is on the Alm (to be fair, it sounds AWESOME!) and if you trust in God, better things will happen than you can even imagine.

The real reason that this book got an okay vote from me is that I totally agree with the premise of the book, in its clumsy way. I truly do believe that everything, especially the things that seem most unfair, is to the good of the Goddess and that the earth and air and elements heal us.

I think I'm going to try the new translation.(less)

Perhaps not the most exciting action filled children's book ever- but Heidi has a gentle, winning charm that explains her enduring popularity. Heidi is orphaned and at 5 years old she is taken to live with her reclusive, hermit of a grandfather who has broken off all ties with his family and community.

Heidi by Johanna Spyri was written around 1880 and for this reason the wording is very old fashion and stiff to read. Yet, knowing the era the story is set in suits the formal writing. I found it easy to accept and even to ignore.
Heidi is about a young girl who lives in the Swiss mountains. Everyone who meets her falls under her spell as she is a girl of innocence and loves helping people. Her loving nature and giving heart result in people depending on her more than they should.

Heidi, like The Secret Garden, which I recently reviewed, is a sort of narrative catharsis perfect for today’s despondent, tree-change inclined city-dweller. Like The Secret Garden, it touches on the power of nature and unencumbered, unfettered living as a way of cleansing the soul and becoming a whole person. But the emphasis and positioning of Heidi are somewhat different, with religion and spirituality playing a far more foregrounded role, and the restorative power of relationships rather less so.

Recently orphaned Heidi is sent to live with Alm Uncle, a reclusive man who lives a happily hermit-like existence in his cabin on the Swiss Alps. Despite Alm Uncle’s famously gruff outlook, he is quite taken by Heidi, whose free-spirited, almost sprite-like nature manifests in rather effusive fashion as she takes up in her new residence. Heidi is in her element on the mountains, and spends her days traipsing about the paths, taking in her surrounds, and generally being wholesome. Her moving to the mountains imbues her with the ability to make the most of just about any situation, and indeed Heidi comes across as a sort of environmental alchemist, transforming greenery and nature into health and happiness. Heidi promptly endears herself to the mountain’s few inhabitants: wizened and blind Grandmama, and sulky and possessive goatherd Peter.

But Heidi’s free-wheeling ways are challenged when she is sent to Frankfurt, where she is to become the companion of the ailing and wheelchair-bound Klara. Heidi is stymied by city living, and she becomes increasingly stultified and tormented by the barriers of urban life, becoming physically weak and emotionally fragile. Heidi seeks at every turn to bring nature into her new life, seeking out belfry views in the hopes that they will be a reasonable equivalent to those from her beloved mountain, and smuggling kittens into Klara’s home. Despite the efforts to “tame” her and inure her to the reticent, obligation-bound ways of city life, Heidi’s dryadic streak remains, and like such a spirit she wastes away without the sustenance she has for so many years gleaned from her life on the Alps.

The contrast between the health-giving ways of rural living and the despondent and unnatural way of life involved in citing living is not exactly subtle, and things get a touch sledgehammer-like when Heidi returns to the mountains with her city wards in tow, and lo and behold everyone is about ruddy cheeks and hearty appetites–the scale by which health is apparently measured. Even Klara is given physical salvation thanks to her belief in the transformative power of nature, as is Klara’s doctor, who has long been dealing with his own personal demons.

But though Heidi and The Secret Garden both deal with the health-giving benefits of a natural life, the latter also emphasises the importance of human belonging as part of becoming an entire person, whereas I never truly got that sense from Heidi. Indeed, though Heidi claims to want to return to the mountains for Alm Uncle’s sake, really she is longing to be reunited with her bucolic lifestyle. Similarly, despite claiming that she is learning to read in order to help Grandmama, her doing so feels rather more motivated by a need to justify her return to the mountains. Moreover, when Klara travels with her to the mountains, Heidi is restless and impatient by the limitations placed on her by her friend, and requests that she be allowed to take the odd moment to take in the land around her.

Heidi, then, seems to have fewer human characteristics than the character from The Secret Garden to whom I’d say she is most similar: Dickon. Though both are sort of Jesus-like characters, all about love and redemption, Dickon’s way feels far more human than Heidi’s. Dickon’s relationships are far closer, and play a key role in his world, whereas Heidi’s seem to be more about allowing her to live the life of freedom that she is accustomed to. (But curiously, while both books get a touch didactic when it comes to all things God- and spirituality-oriented, The Secret Garden emphasises the power of the self when it comes to convalescence and development, whereas Heidi emphasises the role of an external being. )

While Heidi is for all intents and purposes an uplifting eco fable, I can’t help but reflect on Heidi’s relationships and how unrequited they felt. It almost feels as though Heidi allows people to become close to her only if they are willing to become a part of the mountain life themselves, and there’s certainly little compromise going on here. Perhaps this is why she tolerates thuggish Peter, needy Grandmama, and reticent Alm Uncle–their very lifestyle, rather than any actual social or personal affinity, makes them her kinsfolk.

My slight misgivings about the heavy-handed moralising going on here aside, I thoroughly enjoyed Heidi, and can’t help but feel that it’s a wonderful complement to The Secret Garden, drawing as it does on so many similar themes and characters, but with altogether different emphases.(less)

Alhamdulillah, pas ada Pameran IKAPI, dan tentu saja ada diskon yang lumayan, akhirnya aku langsung membawa Heidi pulang. Heidi...adalah temanku waktu kecil. Tapi waktu itu aku cuma pinjam dari Om ku. Kayaknya memoriku parah, karena ternyata ingatanku bercampur antara Heidi dengan kisah Hellen Keller. Soalnya sama-sama berkisah tentang anak cacat.
Sekarang dua-duanya sudah ada di rumahku, jadi aku gak bingung lagi membedakan keduanya. Sebelum baca Heidi lagi, ingatanku yang paling membekas adalah padang rumput, suasana pegunungan, si peter sang gembala kambing, juga perilaku Heidi yang suka buka pintu dan berjalan ke mana-mana dalam keadaan tidur. Haha... ini adegan yang seru. Heidi gak sendiri lho, sebab temenku ada juga yang suka menumpahkan sekeranjang baju yang sudah disetrika ke lantai dalam keadaan tidur. Suamiku juga pernah membuang bantal ke tempat sampah. Untung bukan istrinya yang dibuang... kikikikk.
Gara-gara Heidi, dulu aku sempat berharap bahwa suatu saat aku juga bakalan bisa berjalan normal seperti teman Heidi (Clara).
Mungkin karena juga sangat terobsesi dengan Heidi dan pegunungannya yang indah, jadi kalau pergi ke gunung (di daerahku yang paling dekat Gunung Lawu), seperti ada perasaan tertentu. Senang, ada yang tiba-tiba berdesir-desir di dada, trus gemeeeesss banget liat bunga mawar di tepi jalan, sayur mayur yang segaaarrr.
Heidi, terima kasih ya, karena keceriaan, kebaikan hatimu, kepolosanmu, juga aroma wangi angin gunung dan bunga-bunga serta rumput liar yang kau bagikan. Aku menikmatinya ... sangat.
Buat Peter, aku tahu bagaimana rasanya merasa diabaikan. Apalagi oleh sahabat kita. Tapi kadang itu hanya karena rasa iri atau takut kehilangan sahabat baik kita. Jangan berbuat bodoh lagi ya. Heidi tetap menyayangimu, juga Clara dan semuaaaaanya. Sepertinya aku ingin membonceng di belakang kereta saljumu. Pasti asyik sekali.
Untuk Clara, aku turut senang dengan kondisimu. Jika saja keajaiban itu juga menghampiriku. Ah, tak boleh lah kita berandai-andai. Iya, aku harus bersyukur, selalu.

Salam sayang dariku untuk kalian juga Paman Alm, Nenek si Peter, Grandma, Papa, dokter yang baik hati dan lembut, dan yang lain-lain.

Sometimes it is hard to rate a book written for children. As a mother, I definitely label this book with five stars - this is the kind of book I want my daughter reading (which she just did). Qualities such as a simple story, simple life, reliance on God, thinking of others before self, a happy ending, and normal struggles among people sets this book apart from the in-your-face-entertain-every-second, crude and disgusting, poorly written series book so often advertised to children.

As a child I had never been exposed to popular classics which, while unfortunate, means that I now have a horde of great books yet to be discovered.
