| Summary | "Ikuinen kaupunki: Romaani" by Hall Caine is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story is set in London and primarily revolves around a young Italian boy named Davido Leone, who navigates the harsh realities of life as a child of the streets while carrying a pet squirrel in a cage. The book particularly explores themes of innocence, exploitation, and the struggles faced by immigrant children in a foreign land. The opening of the novel presents a poignant scene on a cold December evening in London, where Davido, a destitute boy, grapples with the numbing cold and the perils of his surroundings. As he wanders the streets, he seeks warmth and shelter while keeping track of the coins he must bring home each night. Through vivid descriptions of the winter environment and his internal struggles, readers witness his plight and vulnerability. After enduring the bitter cold and invoking sympathy from a passing doctor, Davido’s life begins to shift as he is taken in for the night, hinting at deeper explorations of compassion and the broader societal issues faced by children like him.
