Author Eeden, Frederik van, 1860-1932
Title De kleine Johannes
Credits Produced by Marc D'Hooghe
Summary "The Little Johannes" by Frederik van Eeden is a novel likely written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around a young boy named Johannes, who lives in an old house with a vast garden filled with secrets and wonders. His explorations in this magical world lead him on adventures filled with fantastical encounters, highlighting his deep connection with nature and the enchantment that surrounds his youthful imagination. The opening of the book introduces Johannes and sets the stage for a whimsical narrative. Johannes is depicted as a curious and imaginative child, exploring his environment, naming the various places he discovers, such as the "paradise" with its serene pond. He shares his home with his father, a wise man, and his beloved pets, Presto the dog and Simon the cat. The tone is delightfully innocent and dreamlike, establishing a bond between Johannes and the magical elements of his surroundings. The narrative suggests that his adventures will lead him to fantastical beings, including a character named Windekind, who implies a deeper connection to the natural world and invites Johannes to explore beyond the mundane. This enchanting and introspective opening hints at a journey of discovery that combines elements of fantasy with profound reflections on childhood and nature.
