Lottie is brought up by her hard-working mother. She is spoiled, naughty, daring and aggressive. When the parents divorced, each kept one of the girls. The plot is captivating and highly original: two nine-year-old identical twin girls, Lottie and Lisa, were separated at infancy. Das doppelte Lottchen was published in 1949, immediately becoming a best seller. He remained in Germany during the war, writing apolitical books under a pseudonym. He began writing Lottie and Lisa ( Das doppelte Lottchen (“The double Lottie”), the film The Parent Trap was an adaptation of the book), in 1942, concluding it in 1949. The German writer Erich Kästner (1899-1974) was a pacifist and an anti-Nazi. I feel that the way it deals with the various aspects of identity sparked my own interest in the ‘self’. For me, Erich Kästners’ Lisa and Lottie is such a book. The best ones implant an idea in the child’s mind, which then evolves and deepens over the years, long after the book was read. Perhaps it has to do with them articulating life’s most fundamental questions in a clear and vivid way.
