Little Johannes by Frederik van Eeden ~ Full Audiobook [fantasy]

Little Johannes by Frederik van Eeden audiobook.

Genre: fantasy

In Little Johannes, Frederik van Eeden turns a child's first questions about life into a luminous fairy tale with an adult's bite. Johannes is a dreamy boy growing up in a comfortable country house, half in love with moonlight, gardens, and the idea that the world must have a single, beautiful secret at its heart. On a strange night, he is lured beyond the safety of home by Windekind, an airy, mischievous spirit of the woods who promises to show him what things really mean. Johannes follows, and his wonder quickly becomes a journey: through enchanted landscapes, talking creatures, and symbolic figures who each claim to hold the key to happiness and truth. But as he moves farther from childhood, he also meets hunger, cruelty, loneliness, and the confusing demands of human society. Pulled between ideal beauty and hard compassion, Johannes must decide what kind of understanding is worth seeking, and what it costs to grow up. Part fable, part philosophical coming-of-age, Little Johannes is a haunting exploration of innocence, suffering, faith, and the longing to make sense of the world.
