Summary "Rico and Wiseli" by Johanna Spyri is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story is set in the Swiss Alps and revolves around the lives of two young children, Rico and Wiseli, as they navigate the challenges of growing up in a rural mountain community. Their adventures encompass themes of childhood innocence, friendship, and the quest for belonging, providing a poignant glimpse into life in the highlands. The opening of the novel introduces Rico, a boy of almost nine, who lives with his father, an Italian laborer, and a cousin who takes care of their home. Rico is portrayed as a quiet, contemplative child with a passion for music, especially after receiving a violin from his father. He shares a special bond with his friend Stineli, who is spirited and hardworking, and the two often go to school together. Their friendship blossoms as they dream of beautiful lakes and summer outings. However, the narrative takes a poignant turn when tragic events unfold, shaping Rico's journey and hinting at the challenges he will face in finding his place in the world.
