| Summary | "Kultala" by Heinrich Zschokke is a novel written in the early 19th century. The story revolves around the character Toivonen, a soldier returning to his village of Kultala after a long absence. As he navigates the village's dire economic and social conditions, he becomes determined to uplift his fellow villagers through education and reform. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Kultala, a village enveloped in poverty and disarray, contrasting sharply with its once-thriving past. Toivonen, upon his return, is met with both curiosity and suspicion from the villagers. He observes the degradation of their lives, marred by drunkenness, disorder, and poor governance. Determined to restore the village's former glory, he takes on the role of the village schoolmaster, aiming to instill discipline, education, and moral values in the children, despite facing resistance and skepticism from the community.
