Isänmaattomat : Romaani by Herman Bang
"Isänmaattomat : Romaani" by Herman Bang is a novel written in the early 20th century." The story revolves around Joán Ujházy, a young boy grappling with loss, identity, and the concept of belonging, as he navigates themes of nationality and displacement within a complex and multicultural setting. "The opening of the novel introduces Joán Ujházy as he observes the world outside a train window, engaging in a repetitive naming exercise that reflects
his childhood innocence and connection to his mother’s language." Through his thoughts, we see glimpses of his mother, Ane, and her influence, filled with moments of singing and familial love, juxtaposed against the looming sadness of her absence. As Joán grapples with his memories along with the cultural tensions of his surroundings, a stark awareness of his status as 'fatherless' — an outsider — begins to take form, setting the tone for the exploration of his identity amidst a backdrop of national and personal turmoil.
