Summary |
"Jumalallista ja inhimillistä eli vielä kolme kuolemaa" by Leo Tolstoy is a narrative work written in the late 19th century. This book delves into themes of morality, revolution, and the human condition during a turbulent period in Russian history, particularly focusing on the character Anatolii Svjetlogub as he grapples with his fate in a world filled with systemic injustice and revolutionary fervor. At the start of the narrative, we witness the somber setting of a general's office in southern Russia during the 1870s, a time marked by revolutionary struggles against the government. The general grapples with the weight of his decisions, particularly regarding the death sentence for Svjetlogub, a brilliant candidate implicated in a conspiracy. This tension continues as the story shifts, revealing Svjetlogub's mother in despair over her son's fate, juxtaposed against Svjetlogub's own reflections on his life's choices while imprisoned. Themes of sacrifice, love, and the search for truth and meaning permeate this opening, setting the stage for a profound exploration of life, death, and the complexities of moral righteousness amid societal chaos.
