Finnish Musta kääpiö Wikipedia page about this book: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Black_Dwarf_(novel) E-text prepared by Tapio Riikonen "Musta kääpiö" by Walter Scott is a novel written in the early 19th century. Set in the backdrop of southern Scotland, the narrative introduces Halbert "Hobbie" Elliot, a young deer hunter and wealthy landholder, who roams the countryside amidst mysterious and supernatural tales that haunt the region. The story unfolds against a politically turbulent time in Scotland's history, hinting at themes of identity, conflict, and the supernatural. At the start of the novel, Hobbie returns home from hunting when darkness falls and he finds himself near Mucklestane-Moor, an area notorious for its associations with the supernatural. As he ventures deeper into this eerie landscape, he is haunted by local legends of ghosts and witches. He soon encounters Earnscliff, a local gentleman, and together they discuss the perils of the land, all while being drawn into an encounter with a mysterious figure that seems to challenge both their understandings of reality and folklore. Their conversations reveal tensions rooted in historical animosities and foreshadow further conflict, setting the stage for their adventures intertwined with the supernatural.
