Project Gutenberg 2016-11-25 Public domain in the USA. 137 Sienkiewicz, Henryk 1846 1916 Talvio, Maila 1871 1951 Mikkola, Maila Winter Hiilipiirroksia Produced by Tapio Riikonen "Hiilipiirroksia" by Henryk Sienkiewicz is a collection of stories written during the late 19th century. This work likely reflects on rural life in Poland, spotlighting the lives and struggles of the common people through its characters, including the local judge, Herrastuomari Burak, and the ambitious young clerk, Zolzikiewicz. The book delves into themes of social class, ambition, and the everyday occurrences in village life. The opening of "Hiilipiirroksia" introduces the characters in a small village office, where Herrastuomari Burak is busy at work, and his clerk Zolzikiewicz is less than eager to assist. Their conversation reflects a petty rivalry, with Burak's status as the local authority being questioned by Zolzikiewicz. The setting is lively, with details of the surroundings coming to life, such as the annoying flies and the sound of a cow outside. As their banter unfolds, Zolzikiewicz's disdain for village life and his desire for upward mobility are palpable, establishing a backdrop for the themes of class and aspirations that the stories will likely explore.
