Summary "Aune" by Immi Hellén is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers around Aune, a young girl who has been bedridden for most of her life due to illness and longs for a connection to the outside world. The narrative explores themes of suffering, compassion, and the contrast between happiness and hardship as Aune reflects on her own conditions and the plight of others. The opening of the novel introduces us to a stormy winter day in Helsinki as Aune lies in bed, dealing with her pain but focusing her thoughts on a little beggar boy suffering in the cold. Her caretaker, Leena, enters and provides comfort and care, showcasing a deep bond between them. Aune's musings reveal her tender heart, as she shares her empathy for those less fortunate, particularly concerning a lost pair of gloves belonging to the little boy. The section paints a vivid picture of Aune's world, filled with both physical suffering and a rich inner life, setting the stage for her character's development and the relationships that will evolve throughout the story.
