Author Ljungberg, Eva, 1850-1919
Title Sorretun voitto: Historiallinen kertomus
Credits Produced by Tapio Riikonen
Summary "Sorretun voitto: Historiallinen kertomus" by Eva Ljungberg is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative revolves around Anna Mörck, a young girl whose life is intertwined with the tumultuous backdrop of the Finnish War of 1808-1809 and the aftermath of foreign occupation. The story promises themes of love, loyalty, and the complexities of cultural identities, particularly as Anna navigates her feelings for the Russian Captain Vladimir Mustofin amid familial and nationalistic tensions. At the start of the tale, set on a serene August evening in 1810, we are introduced to the landscape of Åland amidst the lingering effects of war. Young Anna, a beautiful and introspective girl, engages in a conversation with her caretaker, Briitta, about the past and the superstitions surrounding their current reality. As their discussion unfolds, Anna’s curiosity and longing for connection become apparent, especially as she observes the Russian soldiers stationed nearby. Their presence—reminders of the recent conflict—evokes a mixture of fear and nostalgia, setting the stage for Anna's budding relationship with Captain Mustofin. This elegant intertwining of personal emotions and historical context forms the foundation of the story that is rich with both romantic and dramatic tension.
