Kenttä ja kasarmi : Kertomuksia tasavallan armeijasta by Pentti Haanpää

"Kenttä ja kasarmi" by Pentti Haanpää is a short story collection published in 1928. Set in Finland's army during the 1920s, these stories present a realistic and cynically humorous portrayal of military life, drawn from Haanpää's own service experiences. The book sparked massive controversy, dividing readers into fierce supporters and opponents. Patriotic circles were deeply offended by its content, leading to Haanpää being effectively blacklisted by publishers for five years. Critics were split—some praised its mature understanding, while others dismissed it as crude and artistically underdeveloped. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
