Helena's household: a tale of Rome in the first century. Finnish
Helenan perhe
Kertomus Romasta ensimäiseltä vuosisadalta
Produced by Tapio Riikonen
"HELENAN PERHE" by Elizabeth Rundle Charles is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative takes place in Rome during the time of Nero, focusing on the early Christians and the societal dynamics of the era. Central to the story are characters like the Apostle Paul and his companion Luke, as well as the family of Lucius Sulpicius Labeo and his wife Helena, who face the challenges and tribulations brought on by the tumultuous social and political landscape of ancient Rome. At the start of the book, we are introduced to a vibrant and complex Roman society under Nero’s rule. The narrative blends historical context with character exploration as it follows Paul and Luke's journey toward the capital, while Helena anxiously awaits news of her husband Labeo, who is stationed in Britain. The text paints a vivid picture of life in that period, touching on themes of faith, courage, and the struggle against oppression, as well as the tension created by the political unrest and religious persecutions of the time. Helena's emotional turmoil and her brother Cineas' steadfastness provide a personal touch to the overarching historical drama. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
