Credits Produced by Jari Koivisto and Tapio Riikonen
Summary "Kuolleista herännyt: Seikkailukertomus eli etsijän tarina" by Maiju Lassila is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book revolves around the life of Jönni Lumperi, a rough-around-the-edges dockworker in Helsinki, who grapples with themes of mortality, identity, and the meaning of wealth. Throughout the narrative, Jönni's character reflects a blend of humor and seriousness, navigating his relationships with his fellow dockworkers and ordinary life challenges. At the start of the story, Jönni is depicted in the bustling harbor of Helsinki, where he enjoys feeding pigeons while contemplating life’s deeper questions, particularly about death and resurrection—a reflection on a past where he claims to have once died and returned to life. The opening sets a vivid scene of harbor life, where Jönni interacts with various characters, including the local police who frequently detain him for public intoxication, and an affluent merchant, Jöns Lundberg, who holds a special place in Jönni’s life. The chapter humorously portrays Jönni's unrefined lifestyle while hinting at a significant turning point when he unexpectedly wins a lottery ticket, sparking dreams of wealth and complicating his relationships with those around him, particularly with Makkara-Liisa, a local sausage seller who harbors her own ambitions.
