| Summary |
"Lumeen haudattuna" by Franz Hoffmann is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story is set against the backdrop of the Jura mountains and revolves around the lives of its poor, simple inhabitants, particularly focusing on the struggles of the Lopraz family as they endure hardships during a brutal winter. The main characters include the grandfather, an elderly man of wisdom and strength, and his grandson Jaakko, who, as the narrative unfolds, grapples with fear and uncertainty regarding his family's fate. At the start of the novel, the setting introduces the reader to the harsh environment of the Jura mountains and the difficult lives of the shepherds who inhabit them. The narrative establishes the Lopraz family dynamics, highlighting the fond relationship between Jaakko and his grandfather as they await the return of Jaakko’s father from the mountains. After a prolonged absence causes worry among the family members, the grandfather decides to embark on a journey with Jaakko to check on the father. However, their expedition leads them to unforeseen challenges as a snowstorm engulfs the region, entraping them in their mountain dwelling and intensifying the feelings of isolation and anxiety as they face the elements and await news from the outside world.
