"Novelleja" by Gottfried Keller is a collection of stories written in the late 19th century. The work is set in a small town and revolves around the lives of various characters, particularly focusing on their struggles with personal and social conflicts. Central figures in the initial story are a widow and her two children, Jukka and Ester, whose dynamic and individual characteristics lay the groundwork for exploring themes of family, hardship, and aspirations. The opening of the collection introduces us to the widow living in an impoverished condition, relying on her meager resources to raise her two children, Jukka and Ester. Jukka is depicted as a sullen and withdrawn boy, often lost in his own thoughts and frustrations, contrasting with his cheerful and industrious sister Ester. As their mother struggles between their needs and her limited means, the siblings' relationship evolves, reflecting both the chaos of childhood and the burdens of familial expectations. This first glimpse into their lives sets up a dynamic that promises emotional depth and nuanced character development as the story unfolds. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
