About this eBook

Author Kivi, Aleksis, 1834-1872
Title Runot; Lyhyet kertomukset
Credits Produced by Tapio Riikonen
Summary "Runot; Lyhyet kertomukset" by Aleksis Kivi is a collection of poems and short stories written during the late 19th century. This work showcases Kivi’s reflections on nature, love, and human emotion, illustrating the beauty and challenges of life through lyrical imagery and rich narratives, while also hinting at folkloric themes. The poems often center around characters in rural settings, embodying themes of longing, loss, and the simplicity of pastoral life. The beginning of the collection introduces several poems that set a tranquil and contemplative tone. In "Unelma," the speaker dreams of returning home to a distant land, evoking feelings of nostalgia and yearning. "Kaunisnumella" presents a scene where a mother’s love for her child is tested as she searches desperately for him in a serene, yet foreboding forest landscape. These pieces exemplify Kivi’s mastery of language, blending personal longing with the expansiveness of the Finnish landscape, and thus serving as a precursor to the emotional depth explored throughout the collection. Through vivid descriptions and relatable characters, Kivi captures the essence of human experiences in a naturalistic framework. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
