Summary "Nälkämailta" by Kalle Kajander is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work reflects on the famine years in Northern Finland, specifically focusing on the hardships faced in 1902. Throughout the narrative, the author shares his observations and experiences while traveling through the famine-stricken regions, highlighting the struggles of the local population. The opening of "Nälkämailta" introduces readers to the grim realities of the famine in northern Finland, as the author recounts vivid memories of suffering caused by hunger, particularly a family arriving in his village, visibly affected by starvation. He describes the desperation in their search for food, and the author’s reflections on past famines set the stage for his journey into the more remote northern areas. As he travels, the author encounters various difficulties related to the terrain and transportation while capturing the harsh living conditions and the widespread poverty that afflicted the inhabitants during this bleak period.
