Recently finished reading, and thought I’d be worth logging it here, to ensure I don’t forget:
Amazing read when it comes to the words and sentence structures used (I assume that’s only true when read in its original form, with reasonable Swiss German language understanding), but Jeremias Gotthelf (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeremias_Gotthelf) really likes to philosophize (and sermonize), which makes the whole read much less enjoyable.
