Vinzi: A Story of the Swiss Alps

by Johanna Spyri

Vinzi, a twelve-year-old boy living in the Swiss Alps, harbors a deep passion for music. However, his father, a farmer, dreams of him following in his footsteps. Caught between his father's expectations and his own aspirations, Vinzi struggles to pursue his musical talents. His mother and sister, though saddened by the conflict, offer unwavering support and find solace in their faith. Against the backdrop of the stunning Swiss landscape, Johanna Spyri weaves a tale of family, love, and the pursuit of dreams, ultimately exploring themes of faith, acceptance, and the power of following one's heart.
