Summary: Den fortrollade vägen (1953, The Enchanted Way) takes place during World War I and the Russian Revolution on a tumble-down Karelian estate. His surroundings Parland depicts in a mythical light - houses have faces, animals talk to him, a firebird falls from the sky and dances in the dark. Parland believes that he has existed before, in other places, although he cannot remember it. The women of the family - his mother, grandmother, aunt Adéle and other aunts - have crucial role in the life of the young narrator. Item #204118
