Die Erzählungen von Heinrich Federer beleuchten das Leben und die Gedankenwelt von Niklaus von Flüe, der in Sachseln, Obwalden, aufwuchs. Federer gelingt es meisterhaft, die Geschichten des Heiliggesprochenen lebendig werden zu lassen und dessen Bedeutung in der Region und darüber hinaus zu vermitteln. Die Verbindung zwischen den beiden Männern, die auf demselben Boden verwurzelt sind, schafft eine einzigartige Perspektive auf die spirituelle und kulturelle Geschichte der Innerschweiz.
Der Schweizer Heinrich Federer war nicht nur katholischer Priester, sondern auch ein begnadeter Schriftsteller, dem mit seinen "Lachweiler Geschichten" 1911 der Durchbruch gelang, bis er spater wegen seiner angeblichen Homosexualitat in Vergessenheit geriet. Die Erzahlung "Pilatus" datiert aus dem Jahre 1913 und beschreibt in wunderbarer Weise Leben und Wirken eines Schlingels, Hirten, Jagers und Bergfuhrers in der Zentralschweiz.
