Download or read book Heidi Classic Reprint written by Johanna Spyri and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-04-22 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Heidi Since Heidi has been so often trans lated into English it may well be asked why there is any need for a new version. The answer lies partly in the conventional character of the previous translations. Now, if there is any quality in Heidi that gives it a particular charm, that quality is freshness, absolute spontaneity. To be sure, the story is so attractive that it could never be wholly spoiled; but has not the reader the right to enjoy it in English at least very nearly as much as he could in German? The two languages are so different in nature that anything like a literal rendering of one into the other is sure to result in awkward ness and indirectness. Such a book must be not translated, but re-lived and re-cre ated. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
