Chronicle Supposing Books Under the North Star (Under the North Star #1)

Linna’s Under the North Star, widely considered the most significant work of Finnish literature published during Finland’s independence, is the first volume of an epic trilogy of the same title.

This first part of this historical work, which encompasses Finnish history from the 1880s to the 1950s, depicts the turn of the 20th century (1884-1907). It gives a voice to hitherto silent actors on the stage of history as it offers a comprehensive account of the social and economic realities reflected in the hopes, dreams, and experiences of Jussi and Alma Koskela and their children in the rural village of Pentti's Corners in south central Finland.

Article Of Books Under the North Star (Under the North Star #1)

just finished this, and keen to start on the second of the trilogy. the blurb says it "operates on three levels: events and action, philosophy of society and history, and of ethics and metaphysics" - pretty plausible, and impressive, too, although I'm not sure about the metaphysics. another blurb, which is much more apt, points out that he's "a social realist, an expert in documenting speech and an author sensitive to conflicts". the last of these is particularly true.aside from just quoting the

Odotukset olivat ehkä hieman turhan korkealla, sillä petyin heti kirjan alkumetreillä, mikä latisti lukukokemusta. Pidin kuitenkin paljon kirjan loppupuolesta, ja se tulikin luettua yhdeltä istumalta. Onneksi minulla on jo seuraava osa valmiina odottamassa :)

The first part of Väinö Linna's trilogy begins the tale of a Finnish village from the 1880s to the 1950s. It is an exemplary historical novel in the sense that it tells about all the major events of the Finnish history during that time from the point of view of the people experiencing them. Even though I have read about all those things at school, I understand them better after reading this book.The main characters of the trilogy are Jussi Koskela and his family, who are crofters or tenant

A very accessible window into the shaping of Finland from the 1880's to 1907. Using the historical fiction device, political and cultural movement is shown through the lives of the various characters that shape a typical village. Overly romanticised, the writing is nonetheless well crafted and translated well. However, it was a bit of a slog and I will need a break before attempting to tackle Book 2.

Täällä Pohjantähden alla on yhteiskunnallinen monumentti talonpoikaisesta vapaustaistelusta, kansalaissodasta, tasa-arvon oikeutuksesta, ihmiskohtaloista itsenäisyyttään etsivässä, kehittyvässä Suomessa. Väinö Linnan laatima "lyhyt oppimäärä Suomen historiasta" kertoo novellein myös olennaisen arktisessa maassa, kahden valtion valtapyrkimysten välissä, kehittyneestä hiljaisesta kansanluonteesta. Ehkä ulkomaalainen näkee vielä suomalaisuudessa Koskelan Jussin alistuneisuutta ja jäyhyyttä - suolla

Things the book and I are agree about Finns and Finland:1. Thou shall not show your emotions. Happines is the most dangerous display of all.2. Thou shall not boast about your success nor your grandiose future plan. If one wants to boast, let that thing happen only in your head and bed conversation and throughout your hardworking result.3. A finn does not simply welcome a strange visitor warmly. Because everyone are strangers, even your neighbors. Tips: be annoyed when you're being visited, and

Aivan ihana! Muistan elokuvan olleen lempi elokuvani lapsena. Nyt vasta tartuin ekaa kertaa kirjaan. Ja miten ihanan tuttu se olikaan. Kirja kulkee mukavasti eteenpäin, huumoria riittää.
