Välskärin kertomuksia 1 by Zacharias Topelius
"Välskärin kertomuksia 1" by Zacharias Topelius is a historical novel published between 1853-1867. A field barber named Andreas Bäck narrates the intertwined fates of two Finnish families—the Bertelsköldin noble line and the Larsson peasants—across generations of Swedish history. At the story's heart lies a mysterious copper ring once owned by King Gustav II Adolf, bringing fortune to its bearer until a false oath is sworn. Family curses, blessings, wars, and social upheaval
shape their descendants through centuries of conflict and change. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
