Israelitar: Kertomus Reading ease score: 53.1 (10th to 12th grade). Somewhat difficult to read. Produced by Tapio Riikonen "Israelitar: Kertomus" by Maiju Lassila is a fictional narrative written in the early 20th century. The story explores themes of love, hope, and the essence of faith against the backdrop of ancient Israel. The central characters include Lea, the daughter of a wealthy man named Sakeus, who wrestles with her personal desires and the weight of prophetic expectation, and Stefaan, a childhood friend who becomes entwined in her journey. At the start of the story, the serene beauty of the landscape is depicted, with vivid descriptions of the evening light and the tranquil surroundings where Lea finds herself lost in thought. As she reflects on her secret hope and the destiny of a promised figure, the narrative briefly introduces her father's concern over her future and the familial ties to a long-standing promise of reconciliation with Stefaan's lineage. The opening sets a contemplative tone, juxtaposing Lea's innocent yearnings with the harsh realities and expectations that surround her life, ultimately inviting the reader to consider the complexities of her journey as she yearns for both personal happiness and fulfillment of prophetic dreams.
