About this eBook

Author Järnefelt, Arvid, 1861-1932
Title Helena: Romaani
Credits Produced by Tapio Riikonen
Summary "Helena: Romaani" by Arvid Järnefelt is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around a young girl named Helena and explores her life growing up in a noble family as she navigates the complexities of social expectations, familial relationships, and her own personal development. As the narrative begins, it sets the stage for the exploration of themes such as class conflict, identity, and the transition from childhood to adulthood. The opening of the novel provides a detailed backdrop to Helena's childhood, focusing on her family dynamics and the household she grew up in, characterized by the stern and stubborn attitudes of her grandfather and father. The family background is rich with tension, as the old patriarch's greed and rigidity shape the household's atmosphere, while Helena's relationships with her parents unfold. Specifically, the interaction with her mother highlights an emotional bond based on intellectual understanding rather than traditional familial affection. This initial portion establishes the foundations of Helena's character, hinting at her struggles with identity and societal roles as she grapples with her upbringing, the realities of her privilege, and her personal aspirations within the constraints of her environment.
