| Summary | "Vieras veri: Rakkausnovelleja" by Aino Kallas is a collection of romantic short stories written in the early 20th century. The narratives are steeped in emotional complexity, often exploring themes of longing, love, and the human condition against the backdrop of various landscapes and societies, with a particular focus on characters like Odele and Treiali-Reet who confront their circumstances and identities in profound ways. The opening of the collection presents a vivid portrayal of Odele Valdemarintytär, a young and foreign wife of a town mayor, as she grapples with her unsettling feelings towards the leprosy patients her husband treats. This introduces a conflict between her own fears and repulsion toward the afflicted and the societal compassion expected from her, a conflict that becomes more intricate upon a fateful encounter with a leper who requests a rose from her child. The narrative intricately depicts Odele's internal turmoil, hinting at themes of redemption and transformative love, while her husband’s zealous commitment to his role at the leprosy hospital raises questions about duty and sacrifice—elements that resonate throughout Kallas’s exploration of human emotions in her stories.
