Title: Gunvor Kjeld, papin tytär
Credits: E-text prepared by Juhani Kärkkäinen and Tapio Riikonen
Summary: "Gunvor Kjeld, papin tytär" by Thomas Peter Krag is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the life of Johannes Kjeld, a pastor who grapples with his faith while navigating the challenges of being a spiritual leader in two very different communities. The novel delves into the existential turmoil faced by religious figures, particularly as they wrestle with societal expectations and their own convictions. At the start of the narrative, we are introduced to Johannes Kjeld, a pastor of a northern parish known for his profound sermons that resonate deeply with the struggling souls of his congregants. Following 20 years of service, he moves south with his wife and daughter, Gunvor, seeking a different environment for his family. However, Kjeld soon finds himself disillusioned by the complacency and superficiality of urban congregation dynamics, leading him to take a strong stand against injustices he perceives, particularly through a confrontation with corrupt authority figures. The opening establishes his character as one who is deeply passionate yet increasingly isolated due to his principled convictions, setting the stage for the ensuing conflicts and his quest for authenticity in a world he feels estranged from.
