Anielka I
Translation of Bez dogmatu.
Produced by Juhani Kärkkäinen and Tapio Riikonen
"Anielka I" by Henryk Sienkiewicz is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story introduces the protagonist, Leon Ploszowski, a 35-year-old man reflecting on his life and the philosophical weight of his existence amidst societal expectations and personal aspirations. Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century Europe, the narrative explores themes of identity, social duty, and emotional entanglement. The opening of the book presents Leon's decision to keep a diary, inspired by his friend Josef Sniatynski's belief in the future significance of personal journals. Through Leon's introspective narration, we learn about his aristocratic background, his father's melancholic past, and his skepticism towards conventional societal roles, particularly regarding marriage and duty. He grapples with the pressures from his aunt to settle down and the complexities of family expectations, particularly focusing on the reintroduction of his cousin Anielka into his life. This sets a stage for Leon's internal conflict regarding his identity and the looming question of whether he can fulfill the expectations placed upon him.
