| Summary | "Kunnanlapsi" by Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach is a novel written in the late 19th century. The book seems to explore themes of social injustice and human dignity through the experiences of its central characters, including the impoverished Holub family and their struggles in a rural community. The author, who was born into nobility, uses her insights into both high society and peasant life to depict the harsh realities faced by the oppressed. At the start of the novel, the reader is introduced to the troubled life of the Holub family, particularly focusing on the father, Martin Holub, whose alcoholism leads to a rapid decline in their living conditions after they relocate to a new village. Despite the mother's hard work, the family faces continuous hardships, culminating in a series of tragic events that involve conflicts with authority figures and the community. The opening also establishes a contrast between different social classes while foreshadowing the family's harrowing and challenging journey through a system that offers them little hope or compassion.
