Summary: "Hunnutettu nainen" by E. T. A. Hoffmann is a novel written in the early 19th century. The story revolves around a mysterious veiled woman named Celestine, who arrives at the home of a Polish mayor, accompanied by an abbess. As she stays at their residence, her enigmatic situation raises various speculations and emotions among the townsfolk and the mayor's family, hinting at deeper secrets and themes of identity, motherhood, and societal judgment. The opening of the novel introduces the moment when Celestine arrives at the mayor's home, seeking refuge as she prepares for childbirth. The townsfolk and the mayor's wife are curious and apprehensive about her sudden appearance, especially as she insists on remaining hidden under her heavy veils. As Celestine becomes a part of their household, she displays a mix of devotion and suffering, which intrigues and confounds the family. Her presence triggers a range of reactions, from sympathy to fear, as tales about her grow among the locals—even leading them to concoct dark myths about her concealed identity. The narrative unfolds with an underlying tension around her true nature and the implications of her arrival on the mayor's family, setting the stage for a tale rife with suspense and moral dilemmas.
