| Summary |
"Mökistä maantielle" by A. V. Multia is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds in Kinnarniemi, a village reflecting the struggles and aspirations of its hardworking residents as they navigate societal changes and the challenges of modernization. The main character, Teemu Syrjälä, is representative of the rural people, faced with the injustices of wealth and authority and the desire for a better life for himself and his family. The opening of the novel introduces readers to Kinnarniemi, a once-quiet village now buzzing with the consequences of recent changes, including a newly constructed railway. It contrasts the beauty of nature with the disarray of the village's infrastructure and community life. As the narrative begins, we are introduced to Teemu and his wife, Eeva, who have finally built their own small home after years of hard labor. However, their happiness is abruptly challenged when they learn of Risumäen's landlord’s plan to evict them from their beloved home, which ignites their fears and highlights the conflicts between the powerful and the humble in a shifting society.
