E-text prepared by Anna Siren and Tapio Riikonen
"Hemsöläiset: Kertomus saaristosta" by August Strindberg is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story introduces us to Karlsson, a newcomer to the idyllic yet challenging life on a remote island. Tasked with the management of a struggling farm, he encounters a cast of local characters while attempting to restore order and profitability to the estate. The beginning of the narrative sets the stage for Karlsson's arrival at Hemsö Island, where he is perceived as a potential savior for the troubled livestock and farm operations. As he navigates unfamiliar waters, both literally and socially, we see his interactions with the local women, Lotta and Liisa, who help him acclimate to life on the island. Initially, Karlsson's lack of maritime skills and impulsive nature result in humorous mishaps, highlighting the contrast between his ambitions and the practical realities he must face. The opening portion lays the groundwork for the dynamics between Karlsson and the islanders, foreshadowing both the challenges and growth he will experience in his new environment.
