E-text prepared by Anna Siren and Tapio Riikonen "Meren takaa I" by Aino Kallas is a novel written in the early 20th century. Set against the backdrop of the Estonian island of Saaremaa, it explores themes of oppression, rural life, and the natural landscape, hinting at the historical struggles of its inhabitants through rich, descriptive prose. The narrative likely delves into the lives of the island's inhabitants, particularly focusing on characters such as Toru Mihkel and the experiences of those bound by labor and societal constraints. The opening of the novel introduces us to the desolate yet beautiful landscape of Saaremaa, bringing it to life through detailed imagery of the harsh environment and the laborers who toil within it. We meet Toru Mihkel, a weary and impressionable character who navigates the dichotomy of his existence as a laborer for the landowning class. The text depicts his journey to town, where he encounters both the burdens of his role and a glimmer of pride in fulfilling a small errand, which ultimately leads him to a dark misfortune at the hands of an unfeeling authority. Through Mihkel's perspective, an early vision of the struggles against oppression is established, setting the tone for the unfolding narrative. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
