(Eemil Nestor) Setälä, Emil Nestor Setälä, Emile Homo sum: Romaani Produced by Juhani Kärkkäinen and Tapio Riikonen "Homo sum: Romaani" by Georg Ebers is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative unfolds in the context of early Christian monasticism on Mount Sinai, focusing on the struggles of its characters to navigate their spiritual and earthly lives. The story introduces several key characters, including a young girl named Mirjam and a monk named Hermas, as they confront dilemmas of faith, identity, and social class in a world rich with temptation and divine aspiration. The opening of the novel sets the stage in the arid landscape surrounding Mount Sinai, where life persists in stark conditions. We are introduced to Mirjam, a shepherd girl, as she playfully interacts with her goats, showcasing her vibrant personality. Her encounter with Hermas, a monk burdened with inner conflict and social hierarchy, reveals tensions between worldly desire and spiritual rigor. Their exchanges highlight the struggles each faces: Hermas grappling with the strictures of monastic life and Mirjam, accused of being a “daimon,” yearning for recognition and escape from her circumstances. As the narrative progresses, it promises to delve deeper into the complexities of their relationship against the backdrop of their historical and spiritual context.
