Kardinaalin nuuskarasia by Henry Harland
“Kardinaalin nuuskarasia” by Henry Harland is a novel translated into Finnish during the early 20th century. The story is centered on the experiences of Peetri Marchdale, an Englishman who settles in an Italian villa and becomes enchanted by his aristocratic landlady, the Duchess di Santangiolo. The book delves into themes of love, social class, and cultural interplay, with a gentle blend of romantic intrigue and light, witty social observation. The opening of
the novel introduces Peetri Marchdale as he enjoys the picturesque Italian countryside and exchanges playful conversation with Marietta, his local housekeeper. Soon after, an intriguing encounter with the elegant Duchess Beatrice di Santangiolo sparks his fascination. Through rich descriptions of landscape and character dynamics, the early chapters set the tone for an understated romantic comedy, as Peetri navigates his growing attraction amidst local color and eccentric exchanges—especially with Marietta and other villa staff.
