Salaperäinen ratsastaja by Zane Grey
"Salaperäinen ratsastaja" by Zane Grey is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story is set in a vivid Colorado wilderness and revolves around a young woman named Columbine, who grapples with her past and the revelation of her identity as a foundling. The narrative explores themes of love, identity, and social obligation, particularly in the context of her upcoming marriage to Jack Belllounds, the son of the ranch's owner.
At the start of the novel, Columbine rides through the beautiful landscape of Colorado, reflecting on her life and the mystery of her upbringing. She learns from Bill Belllounds, the man she has called father, that she is not his biological daughter but was found in a patch of columbines as a child. This revelation stirs deep emotions in her as she contemplates her past and her connection to her mysterious identity. As she prepares for Jack's return and the implications of their expected marriage, she feels torn between her obligation to her guardian and her own feelings, particularly towards Wilson Moore, a ranch hand who seems to have his own complicated feelings towards her. The opening establishes a rich emotional landscape that sets the stage for the conflicts Columbine will face. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
