Summary: "Salapoliisijuttu sekin y.m. kertomuksia" by Mark Twain is a collection of stories written in the early 20th century. The book appears to blend elements of humor, social commentary, and intrigue, featuring plots that portray the complexities of human relationships and moral dilemmas, often depicted through Twain's sharp wit. Central to the narrative is a tale revolving around Jakob and his young bride, exploring themes of love, betrayal, and revenge. The opening of the collection introduces the reader to a drama set in 1880 Virginia, where a young man marries a wealthy girl against her father's wishes. However, rather than finding happiness, the couple faces turmoil when the husband reveals he has been deeply offended by the father’s negative remarks about him. This leads to a cruel game of psychological torment inflicted on the wife over three months. The narrative then shifts to a timeframe in 1886, focusing on the now impoverished wife who lives humbly with her five-year-old son, Archy, revealing that he possesses a unique talent akin to a bloodhound. As the story unfolds, it suggests that the mother is plotting revenge against her husband, intertwining emotions of vengeance and the heavy burden of past grievances, setting the stage for a tale rich in tension and moral complexity.
