Part of the Calder Collection series, The Heretic of Soana is widely regarded as the crowning achievement of Gerhart Hauptmann, the recipient of the 1912 Nobel Prize for Literature and one of the most important exponents of German Naturalism.When the newly ordained priest Francesco Vela becomes the incumbent of the parish of Soana, a small village in Ticino, he is tasked with bringing back into the Catholic fold a family of shepherds, the Scarabotas, who are accused of indecency and incest.

Great translation of the novelette by the 1912 Nobel laureate. Der Ketzer von Soana was written in 1918. Set in the Swiss canton of Ticino, of Italian population. A bespecled goatherd with a dubious history enjoyed "a dubious esteem mingled with superstitious fear". [12]
I read this just prior to taking up goatherding in Ramona and surgically repairing "Susanna"'s udder. Soanna, Susanna. What?
Gerhart Hauptmann (November 15, 1862 – June 6, 1946) was a German dramatist who received the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1912. He remained in Germany after Hitler's "Machtergreifung" and survived the fire storm of Dresden. His last bow is the Atriden-Tetralogie (1942–46).

Reisende können den Weg zum Gipfel des Monte Generoso in Mendrisio antreten oder in Capolago mit der Zahnradbahn, oder von Melide aus über Soana, wo er am beschwerlichsten ist. Das ganze Gebiet gehört zum Tessin, einem Kanton der Schweiz, dessen Bevölkerung italienisch ist.

Als der Herausgeber dieser Blätter noch jung an Jahren war und das Glück hatte, öfters herrliche Wochen in dem schönen Soana zuzubringen, konnte es nicht ausbleiben, daß er hin und wieder den Generoso bestieg und auch eines Tages den sogenannten »Ketzer von Soana« zu sehen bekam. Den Anblick des Mannes aber vergaß er nicht. Und nachdem er allerlei Widersprechendes über ihn erkundet hatte, reifte in ihm der Entschluß, ihn wiederzusehen, ja, ihn einfach zu besuchen.

Es gab keinen Schutz, keine Waffe gegen den Anspruch dieses Nackens, dieser Schultern, und dieser von Lebenshauchen beseligten und bewegten Brust. Sie stieg aus der Tiefe der Welt empor und stieg an dem Staunenden vorbei — und sie steigt und steigt in die Ewigkeit, als die, in deren gnadenlose Hände Himmel und Hölle überantwortet sind.
