The Haidedorf

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Haidedorf is one of Adalbert Stifter's early works . In 1840 the story was published as a journal version in the Viennese magazine for art, literature, theater and fashion. In 1844 the narrative was thoroughly revised and published in book form together with other texts by Stifter under the title “Studies”. The story is about a Haide resident named Felix, who grows up in a rural area under the influence of nature and his grandmother, who tells him Bible stories. Matured into a young man, he leaves his homeland and travels to distant countries in order to learn. Years later he returned to his family as a successful and educated poet.

content

The Haidedorf is divided into four chapters. The first chapter Die Haide describes Felix's happy childhood on the heath. The second chapter, The Haidehaus, introduces Felix's family and reports on his departure. In the third chapter, The Haidedorf , Felix returns to his homeland. In the fourth chapter, the journal and study versions differ in terms of content. This is already evident from the respective title. So it says in the journal version : The Haide visit and in the study version : The Haide inhabitant .
