Author Kajander, Kalle, 1862-1928
Title Kun talonpojasta tuli herra
Credits Produced by Juhani Kärkkäinen and Tapio Riikonen
Summary "Kun talonpojasta tuli herra" by Kalle Kajander is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book explores the life of a peasant named Joppi, who struggles with the responsibilities of land ownership and the allure of a life of leisure. It delves into themes of social class, the transition from a farming lifestyle to a more privileged existence, and the impact of personal choices on one's fate. The beginning of the novel introduces the characters on a summer day as they engage in haymaking. Joppi, the new master of Hinkkala farm, is focused more on enjoying life rather than managing the day-to-day responsibilities of running the farm, to the dismay of older workers like Eerikki. The narrative portrays the tension between the traditional expectations of hard work and the emerging desires for a more relaxed, indulgent lifestyle, highlighting the challenges Joppi faces as he navigates his new role and the dynamics with his laborers. The opening sets a vivid scene of rural life, emphasizing the characters' conversations about work ethics, responsibility, and the changing attitudes toward social status.
