Summary:

"Kun nukkuja herää: Romaani" by H. G. Wells is a science fiction novel written in the early 20th century. The story begins with Mr. Isbister, a young painter, who encounters a desperate man suffering from insomnia while exploring the beautiful coastline of Cornwall. The narrative sets up themes of existential despair and the pursuit of meaning, as the unknown man expresses a profound longing for sleep and peace, suggesting the weight of life's burdens. The opening of the book introduces readers to Mr. Isbister and the tormented unnamed man, who has not slept for six nights. As their conversation unfolds, the man reveals his deep existential pain and feelings of aimlessness in life, leading to discussions about self-harm. Isbister, despite his own confusion and discomfort, tries to offer support and understanding. The scene captures a poignant exchange about the nature of suffering and the human condition, establishing the groundwork for a broader exploration of life's meaning and the struggles inherent in existence.
