Summary "Seitsemän: Titanic-novelleja" by Aino Kallas is a collection of short stories written in the early 20th century. The book presents a poignant exploration of the human experience during the tragic sinking of the Titanic, focusing on themes of survival, loss, and the complexities of human relationships under duress. Each narrative offers a unique perspective on the tragedy, highlighting the emotions and ethical dilemmas faced by characters as they confront the impending disaster. The opening portion of the book introduces various characters aboard the sinking Titanic, particularly a group of women and children in a lifeboat who are led by a calm ship's cook. As they initially find a sense of safety, the terror of their situation begins to dawn on them as cries for help echo across the water from those left behind. The narrative captures the blend of fear, denial, and instinct for self-preservation as they grapple with the moral implications of their survival at the expense of others. The tension escalates as they confront a drowning man seeking rescue, revealing the harrowing decisions that come with desperation and survival instincts amidst chaos.
