About this eBook

Author Kilpi, Volter, 1874-1939
Title Antinous
Credits Produced by Tapio Riikonen
Summary "Antinous" by Volter Kilpi is a novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative unfolds in the Hellenistic world, focusing on the titular character, Antinous, as he navigates the landscapes of ancient towns, including Bithynia and Rome, while delving into themes of beauty, existence, and personal identity. The prose is rich with evocative descriptions, drawing readers into the lush natural environment and the complex emotional landscape of the characters. The beginning of the novel presents a vivid depiction of Bithynia's enchanting and serene nature, laden with descriptions of its forests, rivers, and flowers. Antinous is introduced as he contemplates his surroundings, sitting alone amidst the beauty of nature, feeling a deep connection with the environment that surrounds him. His introspection leads to a profound sense of stillness, and the narrative examines his emotions as they fluctuate between tranquility and an overarching longing for something greater. The text sets a contemplative tone, inviting readers to explore both the external beauty of the world and the inner workings of Antinous’s mind. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
