Credits Produced by Juha Kiuru
Summary "Hurskas kurjuus: Päättynyt suomalainen elämäkerta" by Frans Eemil Sillanpää is a semi-autobiographical novel written in the early 20th century. The book delves into the life of Toivolan Juha, exploring themes of social class, human struggle, and existential contemplation amidst the backdrop of early Finnish society. It captures the complex dynamics of family, community, and the impact of historical events on the individual's life. The opening of the narrative introduces the character of Toivolan Juha, depicted as an unkempt and peculiar figure who is both amusing and tragic. In his last years, Juha grapples with a sense of debilitation while reflecting on his past as he faces the consequences of a tragic incident during a local uprising. The narrative encapsulates a vivid portrayal of rural Finnish life, including Juha's birth in the village of Nikkilä and the intertwining of personal histories with broader societal issues. Through descriptions of his family and community, Sillanpää sets the stage for a profound exploration of life, death, and the legacies of social conflict.
