| Summary |
"Elävänä haudattu: Tosi kertomus vuodelta 1857 (Ps. 85, 10)" by Oskar Höcker is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The narrative revolves around the life of Antero, a young farmer in a small village in the Baden region, as he navigates the complexities of family obligations, moral dilemmas, and the influences of his indulgent younger brother, Ruppert. The book explores themes of faith, responsibility, and the struggle between worldly pleasures and spiritual well-being. The opening of the book introduces readers to the serene but melancholic setting of Dossenbach, where Antero reflects on the values instilled in him amid the backdrop of beautiful yet imposing mountains. We see Antero grappling with his familial duties as he cares for his ailing mother and contends with the reckless lifestyle of his brother, Ruppert. The picture painted is one of contrasting personalities—Antero's earnestness is countered by Ruppert's frivolity and resistance to responsibility. As the narrative unfolds, tensions rise within the family dynamic, highlighting Antero's internal conflict over the paths his brother may choose and the implications for their shared future.
