Findelkind is a novel by Ouida that tells the story of a young orphan boy named Findelkind who lives in the Swiss Alps. Findelkind is taken in by a kind and wealthy family who provide him with a home and an education. However, Findelkind longs to return to his former life in the mountains and be reunited with his dog, Wolf. As Findelkind grows older, he becomes more and more disillusioned with the city life and yearns for the simplicity and freedom of the mountains. He eventually decides to leave his adopted family and return to his old way of life. Throughout the novel, Ouida explores themes of identity, belonging, and the struggle between tradition and modernity. Findelkind's journey highlights the importance of staying true to oneself and finding one's place in the world. Overall, Findelkind is a heartwarming and thought-provoking novel that will resonate with readers of all ages.When spring came, Findelkind sat by the edge of the bright pure water among the flowering grasses, and felt his heart heavy. Findelkind of Arlberg who was in heaven now must look down, he fancied, and think him so stupid and so selfish, sitting there. The first Findelkind, a few centuries before, had trotted down on his bare feet from his mountain pass, and taken his little crook, and gone out boldly over all the land on his pilgrimage.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
