About this eBook

Author Leino, Eino, 1878-1926
Title Työn orja
Credits Produced by Tapio Riikonen
Summary "Työn orja" by Eino Leino is a novel written during the early 20th century, specifically in the context of a rapidly changing Finland. The story features the protagonist, Dr. Johannes Tamminen, a dedicated intellectual deeply immersed in his work and the political landscape of his time. Through his interactions with friends and acquaintances, particularly Topi Huotari, the narrative explores themes of ambition, societal expectations, and the challenges of personal relationships against a backdrop of individual struggles for success and recognition. The opening of "Työn orja" introduces us to Dr. Johannes Tamminen as he meets his old acquaintance, Topi Huotari, in Berlin. Their conversation reveals Tamminen's serious dedication to his work and his ambivalence toward social interactions, particularly with his fellow Finns. We learn about his solitary lifestyle, his longing for progress in both personal and professional realms, and his past struggles. As the chapter progresses, hints of a deeper, romantic backstory involving a woman named Signe Carp emerge, which foreshadows the internal and external conflicts that will shape Johannes's journey. His determination to complete his significant work on socialism and his feelings about loneliness and societal norms begin to intertwine, setting the stage for a rich exploration of human ambition and connection.
