Credits Tapio Riikonen
Summary "Saaressa: Kertomus äskeiseltä ajalta" by Lauri Soini is a historical novella set in the late 19th century. The narrative unfolds in a rural Finnish setting, capturing the lives and interactions of a group of men around a campfire. The book delves into themes of camaraderie, local traditions, and the challenges faced by rural communities, particularly in relation to authority and prohibition. The story revolves around three main characters: Salli, Antti, and Ville, who gather at a fire in the woods, eagerly awaiting a brewing alcoholic beverage. Their conversation flows from lighthearted banter to the impending arrival of a local official, the vallesmanni, who threatens their illicit drinking. As the tension builds, they devise a plan to deal with the official while indulging in their newfound drink. The narrative depicts their interactions, the humor of their predicament, and ultimately, a humorous clash between local traditions and the authority of the law, highlighting the resilience and resourcefulness of rural life in Finland.
