About this eBook

Author Kauppis-Heikki, 1862-1920
Title Aliina
Credits Produced by Tapio Riikonen
Summary "Aliina" by Kauppis-Heikki is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story is set in a rural Finnish community and revolves around the life of the young protagonist, Aliina, as she navigates the challenges of growing up amidst societal expectations and her own aspirations. The narrative explores themes of family dynamics, personal development, and the contrasts between tradition and modernity. The opening of the novel introduces a tranquil lakeside setting where a small steamer brings people home from church, establishing a serene backdrop for the unfolding story. The main character, fifteen-year-old Aliina, is presented through her interactions with her family, especially her father, Matti Auvinen. As she engages in playful activities with her siblings and expresses a desire to accompany her father to the lake, hints of Aliina's yearning for independence and exploration of the world outside her immediate surroundings begin to surface. The chapter sets up her character's innocence and curiosity, juxtaposed with the pressures she will face as she grows into a young woman in a traditional society.
