| Summary | "Tulella ja miekalla: Kuvaus menneiltä ajoilta. 3" by Henryk Sienkiewicz is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative unfolds during a tumultuous time, focusing on the adventures and conflicts surrounding a group of Cossacks. Central to the story is the character Bohun, a Cossack, who is deeply infatuated with a noblewoman named Helena, navigating the complexities of love, duty, and societal expectations amidst warfare. The opening of this novel introduces a night-time journey along the Dniester River, where a party of riders, including Bohun and a powerful female Cossack named Horpyna, cautiously approaches a desolate area known as Paholaisen-Rajapyykki. They carry a woman on a stretcher, who is revealed to be Helena, after she has attempted to take her own life following the chaos of war. Tension builds as Bohun discusses his desperate emotions and unyielding love for Helena, while Horpyna promises to protect her. The atmosphere is fraught with supernatural elements and impending dangers, laying the groundwork for a tale woven with themes of love, loyalty, and the brutal reality of conflict.
