Maamme kirja by Zacharias Topelius
"Maamme kirja" by Zacharias Topelius is a book originally published in Swedish in 1875 that describes Finland, its provinces, nature, people, and history. Written as a textbook for schoolchildren, it served for decades to build national consciousness during Finland's emergence as a unified economic and political entity. Topelius portrayed Finland as a harsh land requiring hard work from its citizens, using the Finnish horse as a model of dedication. The book became
a publishing phenomenon, selling 240,000 copies by 1907. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
