Summary "Novelleja" by Rūdolfs Blaumanis is a collection of stories written in the early 20th century. The book delves into the experiences and themes of Latvian rural life, showcasing characters who often face struggles, desires, and the realities of existence. The opening of the collection introduces us to the heavy and somber atmosphere of survival amid peril, as it opens with a gripping scene on a drifting ice floe where fourteen fishermen, including a young boy named Karlen, face the dire threat of death when their ice begins to break apart. With no immediate hope for rescue, the fishermen experience a range of emotions from fear to helplessness while discussing the fate of their comrades. As they balance on the edge of despair, the narrative poignantly captures their thoughts and experiences on mortality, hope, and the fragility of life, setting a profound tone for the stories that follow.
