Summary "Lentävä hollantilainen" by Andrea H. Fogowitz is a collection of adventure tales written in the late 19th century. The book presents a variety of engaging stories for young readers, with the titular tale focused on maritime legends, particularly that of the Flying Dutchman—a ghost ship doomed to sail the seas forever. It weaves together themes of superstition and the consequences of human arrogance. The opening of the first story introduces a ship called "Circe" journeying from Cape Town back to Europe. As the ship confronts a series of unpredictable storms, the crew becomes increasingly unsettled, especially when they hear the legend of the Flying Dutchman—a ghost ship captained by the cursed Vanderdecken. Tom Willis, an experienced sailor, claims to see the phantom ship, causing anxiety among the crew. When a mysterious crew of the ghost ship appears seeking to deliver letters, they are met with suspicion and dread, intensifying the atmosphere of fear and curiosity surrounding the legendary Dutchman. The scene sets the tone for a rich exploration of maritime folklore and human intrigue. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
