Summary "Aarne herran rahat: Kertomus" by Selma Lagerlöf is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book explores themes of greed, survival, and retribution through the journeys and experiences of various characters, particularly focusing on a fishmonger named Torarin and his encounters with the wealthy clergyman Aarne and the outskirts of society. Set against the backdrop of a harsh Scandinavian winter, the narrative hints at deeper conflicts rooted in the past, especially with the mysterious circumstances surrounding Aarne's wealth. The opening of the book introduces us to Torarin, a struggling fishmonger navigating a rough winter as he transports his goods. He speaks animatedly to his dog, Grim, while pondering the local news about the sea freezing over. As he decides to visit Solberg's vicarage to hear if the rumors are true, we meet Aarne, a distinguished yet aging cleric, surrounded by his household amidst a dinner filled with tension. The conversation quickly shifts when the old household matriarch expresses concerns about ominous happenings suggested by distant noises, which escalates the tension in the otherwise mundane setting. Amidst all this, Torarin reflects on Aarne's wealth, rumored to be linked to ill-gotten gains, setting the stage for themes of jealousy and foreshadowing more sinister undertones in the story.
