Finnish Kissanporras: Romaani Produced by Riikka Talonpoika, Ari J Joki and PG Distributed Proofreaders "Kissanporras: Romaani" by Hermann Sudermann is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story is set in post-war Europe, primarily focusing on the experiences of young soldiers returning home from the battlefield. The narrative intricately explores themes of honor, shame, and the complex emotional aftermath of war, with specific attention given to the character of Lieutenant Boleslav von Schranden as he confronts the legacy of his father's actions during the conflict. The opening of the novel introduces a war-weary world in turmoil following a peace agreement, painting a vivid landscape of destruction and contrasting jubilation among returning soldiers. Amidst this backdrop, Lieutenant Boleslav finds himself in a tavern surrounded by fellow veterans, who recount their wartime exploits while he remains somewhat detached, grappling with feelings of shame stemming from his father's alleged betrayal during the war. The camaraderie and celebration among the men starkly contrast with Boleslav's internal struggle, foreshadowing a deeper exploration of personal and familial conflict as the story unfolds. The stage is set for a poignant exploration of identity, loyalty, and the lingering scars left by war.
