| Summary | "Pimeyttä" by Leonid Andreyev is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book explores dark themes through the lens of a protagonist who finds himself entangled in a life of volatility and danger, embodying the struggles of a revolutionary grappling with his identity, society, and moral decay. The narrative unfolds around his internal conflict and external actions as he faces the consequences of living on the edge of societal chaos. The opening of "Pimeyttä" introduces us to a weary protagonist—a terrorist—hiding from the police after a recent upheaval in his troubled life. He navigates the hustle and bustle of the city streets, contemplating his imminent, reckless role in a terrorist act while dealing with feelings of fatigue and dread. The protagonist’s thoughts spiral into a conundrum of emotions as he seeks refuge in a house that caters to those who are lost, where he prepares to confront his conflicting desires and societal roles. This atmosphere of impending doom and moral complexity entangles him with Ljuba, a woman caught in the same web of desperation and longing, setting the stage for a violent clash of ideas and desperate choices.
