520 _a"Surutar : Romaani" by Hermann Sudermann is a novel written in the late 19th century. It likely follows the hard upbringing of Paul Meyhöfer, born as his family loses their estate, with the figure of “Lady Care” casting a lifelong shadow over him. Around him stand his sorrow-worn mother Elisabet, his bitter, prideful father Max, and his compassionate godmother Helena Douglas from the nearby manor, with the “white house” as a symbol of lost security and longing. The opening of Surutar : Romaani shows Paul’s birth amid foreclosure, his mother’s quiet fortitude, and his father’s rage and drink-fueled despair. The new owner’s wife, Helena Douglas, gently intervenes, becomes Paul’s godmother, and briefly shelters the family, though pride forces a move to a shabby farm. We see Paul’s frail early years, his mother’s tale of the gray “Surutar,” and his timid schooling and bullying. Haunted by the distant “white house,” he finally visits it with his mother, meeting the kind Douglas family and forming a shy bond with their daughter, even as small illusions (like the humble sundial) deflate his fantasies. Back home, conflict flares; the father condemns the visit but accepts the offered money. Time skips forward to a portrait of Paul as a quiet, dutiful boy who cares for his twin sisters, works slowly and precisely, and matures early under poverty and fear, while his elder brothers advance at school and he does not.
