Summary "Kultasydän" by Selma Lagerlöf is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book tells the poignant story of a sickly girl named Meeli, who, despite her physical limitations, finds profound joy and purpose in caring for injured animals. It explores themes of compassion, resilience, and the intrinsic worth of life, showcasing the deep emotional connections that can arise from acts of kindness. The narrative centers on Meeli, a frail and deformed child who struggles to fit into her surroundings due to her chronic health issues. Isolated from other children and unable to regularly attend school, she discovers solace in nurturing sick or injured animals. As she tends to her feathered and furry patients, she finds a sense of fulfillment, transforming her small world into a vibrant haven of healing. Through her unwavering dedication, Meeli gains the admiration and respect of the community, forging bonds with those around her, including her previously distant father, who becomes increasingly engaged in her life. Despite the grim reality of her own circumstances, Meeli's determination to care for others highlights the healing power of love and empathy. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
