Summary "Palestiinassa" by Kaarle August Hildén is a travel memoir written in the late 19th century. The book recounts the author's journey through Palestine, Syria, and Egypt alongside his colleague, Dr. Gustaf von Rohden. Hildén's account aims to provide a vivid depiction of the landscapes, cultures, and significant biblical locations he encounters, while also intertwining his reflections on spiritual matters and the truths found in the Bible. At the start of the memoir, Hildén expresses his long-held desire to visit the Holy Land, spurred by the connections to biblical narratives that had inspired him since childhood. He narrates the emotional preparations he makes on the eve of his departure from Helsinki, the anticipation of embarking on the journey, and describes the initial leg of travel that takes him to Petersburg and then to Moscow. As Hildén navigates the challenges and excitement of travel, he emphasizes the juxtaposition of the beautiful landscapes he sees with the realities of life in the regions he visits, including the bustling atmosphere of Moscow and the initial experiences of cultural contrasts in the Eastern cities. The opening chapters set the stage for a broader exploration of Hildén's journey, filled with observations and reflections on both personal faith and the historical significance of the places he visits.
