Hullun päiväkirja -- Turvapaikka -- Vallankumouksellinen -- Hävittäjä. Tapio Riikonen "Hävittäjä" by Konrad Lehtimäki is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story likely explores the deeply emotional and harrowing experiences of individuals during wartime, particularly focusing on themes of loss, sacrifice, and the psychological trauma faced by soldiers and their families. The opening introduces a frail old man reflecting on his ruined life, marked by the loss of his sons in war, and foreshadows a narrative steeped in grief and remorse. The opening of the novel sets a poignant tone as it describes a weary old man in a finely appointed dining room, anxiously waiting for mail that has not yet arrived. When he receives a letter and a small package, the contents reveal the devastating reality of his son’s fate—a soldier fighting in the war. Through haunting memories, the man revisits the moment he let his son enlist, burdened by guilt and regret for not bringing him back. This painful revelation plunges him into a chaotic emotional state as he grapples with the finality of his son's sacrifice, leaving him desolate and utterly alone, summoning a powerful, desperate plea for closure that may never come. The intensity of his plight hints at broader themes of human suffering during conflicts, which is likely to resonate throughout the novel.
