Project Gutenberg 2014-03-06 Public domain in the USA. 114 Anttila, Selma 1867 1942 Andelin, Selma Helander, Selma Hallimajan nuoret: Kuvaus nykyajalta E-text prepared by Johanna Kankaanpää and Tapio Riikonen "Hallimajan nuoret: Kuvaus nykyajalta" by Selma Anttila is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book captures the lives of young people in a small Finnish community during a time of social change and industrial development. The narrative focuses on characters such as Mooses and Melu, who navigate their personal ambitions and societal challenges amid the backdrop of a transforming environment influenced by mechanization and class struggles. The opening of the novel introduces the setting of Hallimaja, a factory town enveloped by nature, contrasting the impact of industrial progress on the local residents. It describes the changes brought about by the construction of a railway, which disrupts the peace of the valley and forces the locals to adapt to a new environment characterized by labor and stratification. The narrative soon shifts to the daily lives of the characters: Mooses, a young man with dreams of change; Melu, a spirited girl who desires a life beyond the constraints of her upbringing; and their interactions with the working class, reflecting on issues of class disparity and personal identity. As they engage in conversations filled with humor and introspection, the readers are drawn into their complex realities and aspirations in this dynamically evolving social landscape.
