Finnish Kaksi rakastavaista Tuula Temonen "Kaksi rakastavaista" by Romain Rolland is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds against the backdrop of World War I, exploring the inner turmoil and existential crises of its youthful protagonist, Pierre, as he grapples with the absurdity of war and the complexities of love. Central to the narrative is Pierre's encounter with a young woman, Luce, who profoundly impacts his life and perception of love amidst the chaos around them. The opening of the novel introduces us to Pierre, an eighteen-year-old man overwhelmed by the harsh reality of war and its implications on his youth. He finds himself in a tense underground setting, suffocating from the bad air and the weight of despair. As he reflects on his fate, we learn of his longing for peace and understanding in a tumultuous world. When he first sees Luce, an unexpected spark ignites within him, offering a momentary refuge from the grim surroundings. The initial chapters set the stage for exploring not only their developing romance but also the anxiety and disillusionment shared by the youth affected by the war, highlighting themes of love, despair, and the search for meaning in a fractured society.
