Project Gutenberg 2004-06-01 Public domain in the USA. 34 Heller, Frank 1886 1947 Serner, Gunnar Förbannelse över de otrogna! Reading ease score: 76.5 (7th grade). Fairly easy to read. Produced by the Project Gutenberg Distributed Proofreaders "Förbannelse över de otrogna!" by Frank Heller is a collection of narratives that offers a mix of stories, likely crafted during the mid-20th century. The work is rich with themes surrounding faith, human folly, and societal critique, unveiling the dynamics of belief and moral struggles through various characters and settings. At the start of the book, we encounter a dialogue between the wise astrologer Omar and a dervish, illustrating the tension between spiritual dogma and the joys of earthly pleasures. Omar's disdain for fear-based beliefs is highlighted against the backdrop of impending doom from a warlord, Kublai Khan. Following this prologue, the narrative transitions to Captain James McNeill's expedition in 1813, presenting the indigenous perspective of a conflict that has persisted for generations. Through tales of unlikely protagonists—including a detective writer confronting his own demons and a painter who reacts violently to dissent within his artistic circle—the opening portion sets the stage for Heller’s exploration of human nature and contradictions. Each fragment hints at a blend of satire and introspective inquiry, inviting readers to reflect on the merriments and misfortunes of life.
