| Summary | "Karoliinit: Kertomuksia" by Verner von Heidenstam is a collection of short stories written in the late 19th century. The book is set against the backdrop of Swedish history and delves into themes of royalty, power, and societal change, featuring various characters, including the king and his courtiers, and exploring their interactions and struggles. The opening of the collection introduces the reader to a grim atmosphere within a castle, where a drunken character, Lassi Ekerot, is being kicked out for causing trouble. Ekerot, a former naval captain, interacts with Haakoni, an old servant, as they discuss the kingdom's dire state, including famine and the king's failing health. Ekerot exhibits an understanding of the chaotic political landscape, hinting at the impending doom for the royal lineage while reminiscing about past tragedies. The richness of detail evokes a sense of urgency and foreboding, setting the stage for the unfolding tales of nobility and the common folk intertwined in historical turmoil.
