Summary "Poikia" by Emil Lassinen is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story explores the life of troubled youths as they navigate the struggles associated with their pasts and attempts at reform within a structured environment. The narrative primarily centers on Kalle Kärppä, a boy with a tumultuous history and a penchant for deception, as well as his interactions with authority and his peers. At the start of the novel, the main character, Kalle Kärppä, is introduced in a new environment after being removed from society due to his delinquent behavior. As he meets a caretaker who tries to understand him, Kalle’s difficult past reveals itself, marked by a lack of education, neglect, and run-ins with the law. The opening captures Kalle's complex character, oscillating between innocence and a cunning nature, as he struggles to fit in and confronts the harsh realities of his new life. His initial encounters with authority are filled with unease, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of his character development and the themes of redemption and identity throughout the story.
