Der heilige skarabäus. Finnish Pyhä sontiainen: Kuvaus porttola-elämästä Produced by Tapio Riikonen "Pyhä sontiainen: Kuvaus porttola-elämästä" by Else Jerusalem is a fictional narrative likely written in the early 20th century. The book explores the lives of women involved in the sex trade, primarily through the experiences of the main character, Musta Katariina, and her struggles within the harsh realities of her environment. The story delves into themes of survival, societal judgment, and the complex emotional landscapes of those marginalized by society. At the start of the narrative, we are introduced to the dark and bustling side of urban life, where glitz and glamour on the main streets starkly contrast with the poverty-stricken alleys inhabited by sex workers. The setting is established in a seedy neighborhood, particularly focusing on the home of Katariina, a woman described as beautiful yet weary from her experiences. As she interacts with other characters, such as Janka, her friend, and Milada, her daughter, the narrative reveals Katariina's internal conflict between the survival instincts that define her existence and her desires for a life beyond her current station. The opening paints a vivid picture of the duality of existence in this world, oscillating between the superficial fortunes offered by her profession and the underlying sorrow that accompanies it.
