Finnish Lotin avioliitto Wikipedia page about this book: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Le_Mariage_de_Loti Juhani Kärkkäinen and Tapio Riikonen "Lotin avioliitto" by Pierre Loti is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story follows the author, who is depicted as a young naval officer named Harry Grant, as he embarks on romantic and adventurous experiences in Polynesia, particularly his entanglements with the Tahitian girl Rarahu. The book offers a rich tapestry of the exotic culture and landscapes he encounters, infused with a lyrical and poetic quality that reflects Lotí's unique narrative style. The opening of the novel introduces readers to Pierre Loti's passionate yearning for exploration and cultural immersion, which he expresses through his longing for distant lands and his reflections on his childhood dreams of travel. We learn that Loti, originally named Harry Grant, is baptized in one of the queen's gardens in Tahiti. Through him, we also meet Rarahu, a young Tahitian girl whose innocent beauty captivates him. As the narrative unfolds, it highlights the simplicity and complexity of Polynesian life, touching upon themes of love, cultural contrasts, and the author's emotional struggle between his European identity and the intoxicating allure of the South Seas. This sets the stage for a compelling exploration of connection and disconnection in a time of colonial encounters. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
