Die Schwarze Spinne is a religious allegory about morals and
religious living in the mid-nineteenth century, written by Jeremias
Gotthelf. This work is an interlinear translation of Gotthelf's Die
Schwarze Spinne with introductions to both the author and the work
itself. In a small Swiss community, a baptism is the backdrop for a
village elder to tell the story of his family and their life and
death struggle with the devil himself. The elder relates the story
of a knight and his ill treatment of the farmers of the area. The
knight's inhuman demands upon the peasants bring about unforeseen
consequences, which lead to the decimation of the village and,
ultimately, the knight's own death. The plague released through a
pact with the devil, the black spider, haunts the village for
hundreds of years and must be fought with religious piety, courage,
and devotion to traditional values. It is when one forgets God and
his commandments that the black spider is at its most deadly. A
true tale of morality written by a pastor in 1842, The Black Spider
serves as a warning to those who, according to Gotthelf, go against
the will of God.
