(Hella) Wuolijoki, Hella Maria Murrik Tervapää, Juhani Tervapaa, Juhani Murrik, Ella Tunnustus: Novelli Produced by Juhani Kärkkäinen and Tapio Riikonen "Tunnustus: Novelli" by Maksim Gorky is a literary novella written in the early 20th century. The work explores profound themes related to belief, existence, and the search for spirituality in a tumultuous social context. It specifically follows the journey of Matvei, an illegitimate child raised by a reclusive parish clerk, as he grapples with questions of divinity and human connections amidst the struggles of the Russian peasantry. The opening of the novella introduces us to Matvei, who is a foundling raised in a rural setting. After being abandoned, he is taken in by the lonely clerk Larion, who imparts wisdom through songs and stories, deeply affecting Matvei. The narrative sets up Matvei's internal conflict regarding faith and the divine, including reflections on mortality and the nature of God. As he encounters various figures in his life, including a thieving bard and other peasants, he begins to question the existence of a higher power while feeling a connection to humanity. This struggle lays the foundation for his journey of self-discovery and understanding of the collective experience of the Russian people. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
