The following elements play a role: the life stages of man; contrasts (good / evil, idealism / materialism); the reduction motive; criticism of human society; the pursuit of happiness; positivism, and pantheism (God is present in everything). In the story, the development from child to adult life and the struggle with the central riddles. All this is an evolution of a person. ==The story [edit]== Johannes is an imaginative boy, with his father, his dog and his cat leads a carefree existence. One night he finds a boat in the lake, where he gets in. Johannes falls asleep and wakes up by a dragonfly that turns into a fairy: Windekind. He reduces him and takes him to a wondrous fantasy world. They go to a cricket school and a party in a rabbit hole, and the "Peace Ants'. One night he meets the gnome Wistik, which is looking for the 'real book' that answers everything. Windekind do not want Johannes handles Wistik and make it big again as punishment. Johannes is captured by a gardener, lives a while with him and meet Robinetta, with whom he falls in love. Johannes asks Robinetta to the 'real book', in which she shows him the Bible. Johannes rejects this, and it's dazzling by Robinetta's father. Full of grief he goes away, and this time caught by Pluizer who takes him to the city. There he meets Dr. Mark and Hein (Death). Ferreter show him the suffering in the city, the cemetery, and finally his own dead body in the grave. This Johannes faints. Johannes remains a while at Ferreter and doctor rating to study, for the sake of the 'real book', but he longs for his youth and his father.

An unknown person appears and suggests John the choice between Windekind and "The Great Light ', or humanity with her grief and injustice. Johannes chooses humanity and its pangs. The story ends with the sentence: "Maybe I'll tell you once more of the little Johannes, but a fairy tale it will no longer equals." ==[Symbolism edit] == The adventure of the young Johannes actually symbolizes the youth of Van Eeden and other people. The assertion at theBEGINNING, that it all really happened, then it must also be taken seriously. The four main characters (Windekind Wistik, Ferreter and rating) symbolize the different stages of Van Eeden's youth. Windekind stands for Van Eeden's childish fantasy, Wistik his desire for answers as he gets older, and Ferreter rating and stand for materialism which Van Eeden especially at the university came inCONTACT. Van Eeden is actually the little John growing up in a world full of different viewpoints. ==The little John and literature education <span class="mw-editsection-bracket" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);"><span class="mw-editsection" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;font-family:sans-serif;">[edit]== <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:14px;">Along with Eric in the Land of Insects of Godfried Bomans stood for years in Belgium on the bibliography of secondary education, both Flemish and French-language education.
