About this eBook

Author Nikkinen, Jaakko, 1884-1946
Title Leppirannan Lauri: Romaani
Credits Produced by Timo Ervasti and Tapio Riikonen
Summary "Leppirannan Lauri: Romaani" by Jaakko Nikkinen is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around a young man named Lauri Leppiranta, who reflects on his life as he turns eighteen. The narrative delves into themes of self-discovery, aspirations, and the struggles of finding one's place within societal expectations. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Lauri as he sits at a desk in a dimly lit room, beginning a diary on his eighteenth birthday. He records his thoughts and feelings, expressing both enthusiasm for the future and profound doubts about his identity and purpose. Throughout his reflections, Lauri grapples with feelings of inadequacy and the pressures of those around him who have clear paths in life. As he observes the lives of others, he feels detached and uncertain of his own aspirations, yearning for a sense of belonging while pondering various futures—from becoming a farmer to a poet. The opening sets the tone for Lauri's inner conflict and establishes the book's exploration of youth, ambition, and the search for meaning amidst external expectations.
