Als ich noch der Waldbauernbub war. Band 2 Für die Jugend ausgewählt aus den Schriften Roseggers vom Hamburger Jugendschriftenausschuß.

Listeners are invited into the quiet world of a young farm boy growing up among the Alpine woods. Through his eye we hear the rhythm of daily chores, the scent of fresh hay, and the soft glow of candlelight that marks each season. The stories blend simple rural tasks with the deeper currents of faith and family, creating a portrait that feels both intimate and timeless. Early chapters linger on a Christmas night when the whole household gathers around a well‑worn oak stool, listening to prayers and whispered tales.

When snow blankets the roof, the house comes alive: women spin wool, servants scrape wood shavings, and the faint thrum of the threshing machine rolls in the distance. The boy seeks his mother’s apron for safety as the old tales grow eerie, his imagination filling the night with distant bells and rustling chains. The simple, steady narration lets listeners feel the quiet rhythm of rural life.
