About this eBook

Adapter Kokko, Juhana, 1856-1926
Title Kölliskö
Credits Produced by Tapio Riikonen
Summary "Kölliskö" by Juhana Kokko is a novel written in the late 19th century. The book opens with a focus on the lives of a farming family in rural Finland, particularly highlighting the dynamics among the five brothers, with a particular emphasis on Mikko, who is portrayed as weak and often bullied by his siblings. The narrative explores themes of familial relationships, social roles, and the complexities of rural life in that era. The opening of "Kölliskö" introduces us to the protagonist's family background, setting the stage for their daily struggles and interactions. Mikko, seemingly the weakest link among his brothers, is often the target of ridicule, though he finds solace in small comforts. The narrative paints a vivid picture of farm life during the haying season, filled with camaraderie and labor, contrasted with Mikko’s experience of isolation and pain. As the story unfolds, signs of tensions among the brothers and hints of Mikko’s deeper emotional struggles emerge, particularly through the eyes of the protagonist, who is tasked with navigating their complex relationships.
