No author biography available.

A three-act stage play written in the early 20th century. It centers on a fallen patriarch, Abraham Svart, and his adult children—devout Rauha, idealistic scholar Eelis, hard-nosed businessman Asser, and pleasure-seeking Kaarin—as they wrestle with faith, pride, desire, and the stain of family ruin. The title theme of infidelity triggers a moral crisis that pits spiritual ideals against raw human passion and social survival.
