About this eBook

Author Jotuni, Maria, 1880-1943
Title Jussi ja Lassi
Credits Produced by Tapio Riikonen
Summary "Jussi ja Lassi" by Maria Jotuni is a children's novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around two young boys, Jussi and Lassi, who are exploring the world around them before they start school. The book captures their innocent conversations and imaginative play, reflecting their youthful perceptions of life and society. The opening of the narrative introduces Jussi and Lassi, aged seven and six respectively, as they engage in discussions about their lives, memories of rural life, and reflections on the rules imposed by adults. Their conversations reveal a mixture of curiosity and rebellion against the constraints placed upon them by society. As they reminisce about their carefree childhood and discuss the nature of morality and the expectations from 'grown-ups,' we see their innocence contrasted with hints of a deeper understanding of the world, including the complexities of adult relationships and the implications of war and peace. Their playful banter not only provides humor but also invites readers to reflect on how children perceive the rules and contradictions of adult life. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
