Summary "Felicitas: Historiallinen romaani kansainvaelluksen ajoilta" by Felix Dahn is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative takes place during the tumultuous period of migrating tribes around the year 476 AD, intimately exploring the lives and struggles of individuals caught between the fading power of the Roman Empire and the encroaching Germanic tribes. The story centers on characters like Fulvius and Felicitas, who navigate love, identity, and the socio-political turmoil of their time. The opening of the novel introduces us to a narrator who reflects on his scholarly research in Salzburg and his fascination with the remnants of Roman civilization amid the growing presence of Germanic tribes. As he wanders through the countryside, he becomes lost in thoughts about the Roman past, feeling a significant connection to a particular site where he uncovers a message inscribed on a marble stone, declaring "Here lives happiness; let nothing evil enter." This sets the stage for the unfolding story, hinting at the intertwined fates of junior characters in a world on the brink of change, and foreshadowing that Felicitas holds a significant role in this looming conflict. The narrative shifts between historical reflection and the personal lives of its central characters, combining elements of romance with the harsh realities of an era marked by migration and conflict.
