Die Schwarze Spinne German Edition Jeremias Gotthelf Books
I'd read "Die schwarze Spinne" in school, back in the day, and thought it would be fun to read it again. It was, though I'd forgotten that 20% of the novella is devoted not to the actual story, but to describing a child's baptism in Gotthelf's time and the idiosyncrasies of society. It's historically and sociologically interesting, and will still get wry smiles from modern readers who recognize themselves or their great-aunts in some of those characters, but editors today would have cut it mercilessly.As is usual with Gotthelf, once the story gets moving, it's a compelling narrative. Unlike his longer works, this novella works as a fable, disguised as the history of way-back-when, but those extra 20% make Gotthelf's point that the threat isn't gone in our day. Sumiswald - the setting - is a real town that still exists today, but as to the historical accuracy of the names mentioned in the story I have no idea.
It's a pretty quick read, well written, quirky, and appropriately creepy for a deal-with-the-devil story.

Die Schwarze Spinne German Edition Jeremias Gotthelf Books Reviews
For persons who believe the devil takes the form of a black spider and is on the lookout for newborn babies
Captivant,
I am so glad that these classic Swiss author has at least one of his works available. Great
I read this on a long flight and had a hard time putting it down. It reminds me of an old, scary, fairytale. There is a central religious/superstitious theme with a good story, plus an interesting window on the way the world looked to people at that time and place. Was a bit slow to get started but worth it.
