"Das Leben und die Abentheuer des Armen Mannes im Tockenburg: Von ihm selbst…" is an autobiographical account written in the late 18th century. The book recounts the life of Ulrich (Uli) Braeker, a poor Swiss man from the Toggenburg region, as told in his own words. Its likely focus is the detailed and heartfelt narration of his origins, hardships, family life, formative years, and perhaps his humble philosophical outlook, offering a rare first-person perspective from someone on the fringes of historical record and literature. The opening of the book begins with a reflective introduction that notes Braeker’s historical obscurity but lauds the sincerity, poetry, and unique literary quality of his self-told life story. The narrator then begins his recounting by emphasizing his impoverished family background, recalling childhood events with vivid detail—memories of his parents, rural upbringing, early brushes with danger, and responsibilities like herding goats. The narration richly describes both hardships and innocent joys, as well as the struggles of his large, indebted family. Uli’s early observations mix playful mischief, working life, religious instruction, and emotional vulnerability. By the end of the opening portion, the young narrator’s restless curiosity and moral anxiety are clear, as his family is forced to relocate due to poverty, marking the end of his childhood in the mountain wilds.
