Finnish Henry Esmondin historia: Hänen itsensä kertomana Wikipedia page about this book: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_History_of_Henry_Esmond Juhani Kärkkäinen and Tapio Riikonen "Henry Esmondin historia: Hänen itsensä kertomana" by William Makepeace Thackeray is a historical novel written in the mid-19th century. The book follows the life of Henry Esmond, a young nobleman, as he navigates the complexities of family, loyalty, and identity during a tumultuous period in English history. Esmond's story is deeply intertwined with the political and social happenings of his time, particularly concerning the loyalist cause during the reign of King James II. The opening of the novel introduces the reader to the world of young Henry Esmond as he reflects on his early life at Castlewood. Upon the arrival of Lord Francis, the new Earl, Henry finds himself at the juncture of a richly layered family history. He experiences both admiration and fear in the presence of his noble relatives, particularly Lady Castlewood, whose beauty captivates him profoundly. This first section establishes themes of noble lineage, personal loss, and the innate desires that shape human connections, as Henry grapples with his position within the family and his hopes for acceptance and belonging amidst a setting filled with tensions and unfulfilled expectations.
