| Summary |
"Laila eli Kuvaelmia Ruijan rannoilta" by J. A. Friis is a fictional narrative written in the late 19th century. The story unfolds in the Northern regions of Norway, focusing on the experiences of Lappish families against the backdrop of nature and traditional lifestyles. The novel explores themes of survival, community, and the impact of the environment on personal and cultural identity through the lives of various characters." "The opening of the book introduces readers to a small village named Karasjok, set deep in the heart of northern Norway. It describes the harsh yet beautiful landscape and the inhabitants, including a merchant named Lind and his wife, who are preparing for a journey to have their child baptized. The narrative focuses particularly on their child, Maria, and the Lappish customs surrounding her care and travel. As the family embarks on their journey, they encounter danger from a pack of wolves, an event that sets the stage for the emotional stakes and theme of family bonds prevalent throughout the story."
