About this eBook

Author Aho, Juhani, 1861-1921
Title Papin rouva
Credits Tapio Riikonen
Summary "Papin rouva" by Juhani Aho is a novel written during the early 20th century. The narrative unfolds in a pastoral setting and revolves around the life of Elli, the wife of a parish priest, as she navigates her feelings and memories concerning an anticipated visit from an old acquaintance, Olavi Kalm. The opening of the novel paints a tranquil and detailed picture of the parsonage by the lake, where the priest's wife prepares for her guest. As she tidies their home and reflects on her past, we see her inner turmoil and nostalgia for youthful love, specifically regarding her feelings towards Olavi, who represents a connection to a more vibrant, romantic life compared to her current existence. This quiet summer evening is infused with hints of longing, loneliness, and the impact of societal expectations as they interplay with her personal desires. A sense of impending change is felt as the characters are drawn toward significant encounters that will explore themes of love, regret, and the complexities of domestic life.
