About this eBook

Translator Talvio, Maila, 1871-1951
Title Hiilipiirroksia
Credits Produced by Tapio Riikonen
Summary "Hiilipiirroksia" by Henryk Sienkiewicz is a collection of stories written during the late 19th century. This work likely reflects on rural life in Poland, spotlighting the lives and struggles of the common people through its characters, including the local judge, Herrastuomari Burak, and the ambitious young clerk, Zolzikiewicz. The book delves into themes of social class, ambition, and the everyday occurrences in village life. The opening of "Hiilipiirroksia" introduces the characters in a small village office, where Herrastuomari Burak is busy at work, and his clerk Zolzikiewicz is less than eager to assist. Their conversation reflects a petty rivalry, with Burak's status as the local authority being questioned by Zolzikiewicz. The setting is lively, with details of the surroundings coming to life, such as the annoying flies and the sound of a cow outside. As their banter unfolds, Zolzikiewicz's disdain for village life and his desire for upward mobility are palpable, establishing a backdrop for the themes of class and aspirations that the stories will likely explore.
