| Summary |
"Anna Hollmannin häviö: Kertomus" by Gustav Frenssen is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Jan Guldt, a young boy from Blankenese, whose family is deeply affected by the dark history associated with the Hollmann family, infamous for their poor treatment of seafarers and their link to Jan's father's early death. As Jan grows up amidst his mother's resentment towards the Hollmanns, he is determined to confront the injustices inflicted upon his family. The opening of the book introduces Jan Guldt, who lives a frugal life with his reclusive and bitter mother after the premature death of his seafaring father. Through a series of conversations, Jan learns about the Hollmann family, whom his mother holds responsible for many tragedies in their lives, including her husband's demise and her own struggles. Jan's increasing awareness of his family's grievances against the Hollmanns ignites a burning desire for justice and revenge within him. As the narrative unfolds, it sets the stage for Jan's journey toward adulthood, his aspirations as a sailor, and his resolve to confront the legacy of wrongdoings associated with the Hollmanns.
