About this audiobook
The Little Barefoot is a classic German novella written by Berthold Auerbach. The story follows the life of a young girl named Nanni, who lives in a small village in the Black Forest in the early 19th century. Nanni is an orphan who has been taken in by a poor farmer and his family. She is known in the village as "the little barefoot" because she has no shoes and must walk barefoot through the snow and mud. Despite her difficult circumstances, Nanni is a happy and kind-hearted girl who loves to sing and play with the other children in the village. She dreams of one day owning a pair of shoes but knows that this is unlikely given her family's poverty. One day, a wealthy stranger comes to the village and offers to take Nanni away with him to work as a servant in his mansion. Nanni's adoptive family reluctantly agrees to let her go, hoping that she will have a better life with the wealthy man. However, Nanni soon discovers that life in the mansion is not what she expected. The wealthy man and his wife are cruel and abusive, and Nanni is forced to work long hours without rest. She is also forbidden from singing, which is one of her greatest joys. Despite the hardships, Nanni remains strong and determined. She forms a friendship with the gardener's son, who helps her to escape from the mansion and return to her village. "The Little Barefoot" is a touching and timeless story about the power of resilience and kindness in the face of adversity. Auerbach's writing is rich and vivid, bringing to life the beauty of the Black Forest and the struggles of its people. The novella has been beloved by generations of readers for its inspiring message and unforgettable characters.
