| Summary |
"Rautakorko: Vallankumousromaani" by Jack London is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story is set in a dystopian future where the themes of class struggle and revolution are central, likely revolving around the lives of Avis and Ernest Everhard, who play critical roles in the narrative. This book delves into the socio-political dynamics of the time, reflecting on the challenges faced by the working class against a tyrannical oligarchy. At the start of the novel, Avis Everhard reflects on the turmoil surrounding her husband, Ernest Everhard, a revolutionary thinker actively involved in the struggle for workers' rights. The peaceful summer setting contrasts with her inner turmoil, hinting at the impending storm of revolution. Avis grapples with the legacy of her husband's sacrifice and the larger historical forces at play, voicing her fears and hopes as she prepares to document his life and struggles. The conversation at a dinner gathering with clergymen showcases the ideological battle, illustrating the disconnect between the religious elite and the working class, as Ernest passionately challenges their misconceptions and advocates for the proletariat's cause.
