About the content
In
a
peaceful
valley,
far
away
from
the
rest
of
the
world,
the
animals
of
the
forest
meet
for
a
birthday
party
at
the
Brummel
bear
family.
When
the
sun
goes
down
in
the
evening,
one
of
the
birthday
guests
asks
where
the
sun
might
disappear,
if
it
sinks behind the horizon and if it will come again the next morning.
This
triggers
a
heated
debate
about
what
would
happen
if
the
sun
did
not
recover
someday. This question wants to and must get to the bottom.
The
bear
Hieronymus
Brummel
and
his
friend
Hubert
the
Wolf
are
chosen
to
solve this riddle. They should come to the secret of the sun on the track.
First,
the
two
get
into
an
enchanted
spell
forest
and
get
from
a
strange
old
owl
first clues about the sun.
Shortly
thereafter,
they
are
dealing
with
dwarfs
who
seem
to
be
hostile
to
them.
But
soon
it
turns
out
that
the
gnomes
can
be
very
helpful
to
the
two
friends
with
regard to the mystery of the sun.
But
the
dwarves
also
need
help,
because
they
live
in
a
haunted
valley
in
which
they
had
been
banished
many
years
ago
by
a
wicked
sorceress.
To
release
the
spell
and
to
be
free
again,
they
must
also
solve
the
mystery
of
the
sun.
But
only
Hieronymus
and
the
wolf
can
help
them,
because
the
dwarves
are
bound
by
the
spell
of
the
witch
to
the
valley
and
therefore
unable
to
start
even
an
expedition
to
the
sun,
while
Hieronymus
and
his
friend
in
a
mysterious
way
got
the
access
to
the Valley, which has never been done by any stranger before except them.
Hieronymus
and
the
wolf
has
been
welcome
by
the
dwarves
as
guests
of
honor
in
a
triumphal
procession
through
the
romantic
dwarf
town
with
its
cute
half-
timbered
houses,
up
to
a
mighty
castle
where
King
Mopf
the
Mopfing
resides
as
supreme ruler of the dwarven people.
From
him
and
his
wise
magician,
the
two
explorers
receive
further
valuable
information
on
how
to
discover
the
secret
of
the
sun.
And
they
get
into
the
possession
of
an
instrument,
with
the
help
of
which
the
way
to
the
sun
supposedly should be found. A compass.
The
Dwarfs
have
been
watching
the
Sun's
course
for
generations
and
have
discovered
that
it
always
sets
in
the
West.
They
assume
that
one
must
only
march
with
the
help
of
the
compass
to
the
west,
thus
always
in
that
direction
where
in
the
evening
the
sun
touches
the
horizon
of
the
earth.
Then,
according
to
the
idea,
one
would
come
so
close
to
the
sun
at
the
end
of
the
world
that
one
could
ask
her
for
her
own
secret
and,
above
all,
whether
she
would
rise
again
and
again
for
her
warming
and
life-giving
at
the
beginning
of
the
new
day
to
send
rays to the earth.
So
Hieronymus
and
his
friend
the
wolf
embark
on
the
arduous
journey
to
the
end
of the world, where they believe to find that place where the sun goes down.
As
the
story
unfolds,
Bine
and
Butz,
the
two
bear
children
of
Hieronymus,
become
involved
in
the
story
and
more
or
less
voluntarily
participate
in
the
excursion that will take our protagonists halfway across the globe.
From
now
on,
our
four
heroes
experience
the
most
exciting
adventures
that
would go beyond the scope of this short introduction.
They
travel
across
the
ocean
on
a
steamer
as
»stowaways«
and
go
overboard,
landing
on
a
lonely
island
like
Robinson
Crusoe.
They
fight
with
pirates
and
save
a family with children from their captivity.
In
America,
they
themselves
fall
into
the
hands
of
a
dodgy
circus
director,
forcing
them
to
perform
in
the
ring.
They
meet
new
friends
who
help
them
to
rescue
and
escape.
At
the
end
of
their
journey,
they
even
board
a
rocket
and
thus
learn
the
whole
truth about our planet Earth and its orbit around the sun.
Summary
The
story
is
not
only
exciting,
funny
and
entertaining,
but
also
gives
light-footed
and
playful
knowledge
of
the
sun,
about
their
life-giving
energy
and
the
way
of
looking at the world from the mediveal to modern times.
In
addition,
the
cliché
of
a
beauty
ideal
is
broken,
which
is
suggested
to
us
by
the
media
and
the
advertising
industry
on
a
daily
basis.
Hieronymus
Brummel
and
his
family
are
deliberately
described
as
thick,
round
balls.
And
yet
they
are
not
only
agile,
but
above
all
sympathetic
and
lovable
characters
who
will
conquer
the
hearts of readers by storm.
