| Summary |
"Mr Jeremias etsii illusionia" by Hagar Olsson is a novel written in the late 1920s. The story follows the central character, Jeremias, as he navigates through his discontented life, grappling with feelings of emptiness, dissatisfaction, and the pursuit of meaning. The themes of illusion versus reality and the search for purpose are likely to be central to the narrative. The opening portion introduces us to Jeremias, who is deeply introspective and critical of his surroundings. He appears disconnected and dissatisfied, reflecting on his life while observing others, which leads to feelings of alienation. During his travels, he encounters a mix of characters, each embodying aspects of life's mundane struggles, while the weight of his own expectations and disappointments grows heavier. The narratives illustrate Jeremias’s tumultuous emotional state, his yearning for connection, and his vivid meditations on life’s illusions, setting the stage for his ongoing exploration throughout the novel.
