About this eBook

Author Lajula, Osmo, 1874-1935
Title Valkaman perhe
Credits Produced by Matti Järvinen and Distributed Proofreaders Europe
Summary "Valkaman perhe" by Osmo Lajula is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Verner Arnold, a man living the life of a landowner in the Finnish countryside, who wrestles with personal demons and a troubled past. As he prepares for marriage to Ester Lilieroos, the narrative unfolds themes of loneliness, family legacy, and the yearning for redemption. The opening of the novel introduces a sunny May day on the estate of Valkama, where Verner Arnold stands alone, reflecting on his life and the recent death of his wife. As he observes the happy scene outside, a sense of emptiness washes over him, highlighting his loneliness and dissatisfaction with life. His interactions with Ester, a beautiful and gentle woman, reveal a budding romance overshadowed by Verner's troubled past and perhaps an inherited discontent. Their relationship is complicated by Verner's self-destructive tendencies and the shadow of his father’s legacy, which looms large over his present. The beginning sets a tone of introspection and conflicts that promise deeper exploration in the unfolding story. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
