| Summary |
"Perdita kaj retrovita: originala rakonto" by Émile Boirac is a fairy tale written in the early 20th century. The story follows the plight of a king and his family as they navigate the trials presented by a powerful sorceress, ultimately exploring themes of loss, hope, and redemption in the context of royal duties and familial bonds. The narrative begins with King Diskareso, whose temper terrifies his subjects, in stark contrast to the kindness of his wife, Queen Aristino, and their two children—Rozlilio and young Orluĉjo. When Orluĉjo mysteriously disappears, the king becomes consumed by despair and offers treasures for his return. A magician named Pseŭtareso eventually claims to bring the child back, but he demands Rozlilio in exchange, putting the family in a dire predicament. As the story unfolds, it becomes a tale of reclaiming lost innocence and the struggle against the darkness represented by the sorceress. Ultimately, the narrative highlights the triumph of goodness over evil, as the true nature of love and sacrifice prevails, leading to reconnection and healing for the family.
