Book summary:
A beautiful retelling of this timeless classic. Heidi is the perfect introduction to classic stories for younger readers.

Heidi, a lively orphan girl, goes to live with her cranky grandfather in a little hut high in the Alps. Soon she is happy and healthy, leading a carefree life with her grandfather, her new friend, Peter, and the goats on the Alm.
But Heidi's happiness is short-lived when she is sent to stay with a rich city family as a companion for a sick girl, Clara. Although she grows fond of the older girl, Heidi is terribly homesick. She eventually returns to the Alps and finds happiness once again in the clean, pure natural mountain setting.

Book summary:
Set in a small town in Switzerland, The Pledge centers around the murder of a young girl and the detective who promises the victims mother he will find the perpetrator. After deciding the wrong man has been arrested for the crime, the detective lays a trap for the real killerwith all the patience of a master fisherman. But cruel turns of plot conspire to make him pay dearly for his pledge. Here Friedrich Dürrenmatt conveys his brilliant ear for dialogue and a devastating sense of timing and suspense. Joel Agees skilled translation effectively captures the various voices in the original, as well as its chilling conclusion.

One of Dürrenmatts most diabolically imagined and constructed novels, The Pledge was adapted for the screen in 2000 in a film directed by Sean Penn and starring Jack Nicholson.
