Summary "Hullun yritys: Amerikalainen historiallinen romani" by Albion Winegar Tourgée is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative unfolds during a turbulent period in American history, likely focusing on themes surrounding the Civil War and its aftermath, with the primary character, Comfort Servosse, facing personal and societal challenges stemming from the conflicts of his time. The opening of the novel introduces the background and lineage of Comfort Servosse, hinting at a tumultuous inner life marked by a burgeoning mental strain. As a young attorney, he grapples with the weight of a recent battle and its consequences on both personal relationships and broader societal dynamics. His wife, Metta, observes his growing unease and worry, foreshadowing the mental turmoil that is to come. The initial chapters set the stage for Servosse's struggles as he transitions from a life of relative stability to facing the harrowing realities of war, illustrating the tension between familial responsibilities and the call of duty.
