About this eBook

Author Auerbach, Berthold, 1812-1882
Title Vilun-ihana
Credits Produced by Tapio Riikonen
Summary "Vilun-ihana" by Berthold Auerbach is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story unfolds in a picturesque village, focusing on the lives of its inhabitants as they navigate love, loss, and community ties. The opening introduces us to a young widow, Lents, and her son, who are grappling with the aftermath of a beloved family's death and adjusting to the changes brought by life's challenges. At the start of the narrative, we meet a vibrant mountain home seemingly filled with happy people. The sun shines positively on this household, where a young woman—Wilhe's mother—worries about her son's impending journey to the Swiss mountains. Her emotions reflect the universal human experience of loss and yearning, urging him to bring back a "vilun-ihana" flower, symbolizing hope and renewal. The following discussions among the villagers reveal their deep bonds, hinting at Lents’s character as he navigates the complex social dynamics after the loss of his mother. The sense of community, reminiscence, and the contrast between sorrow and the vibrancy of life are woven throughout the opening, setting the stage for the emotional journey ahead.
