Finnish Chikago: Nykyajan romaani Produced by Juha Kiuru and Tapio Riikonen "Chikago: Nykyajan romaani" by Upton Sinclair is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book explores the lives of Eastern European immigrants in Chicago, primarily focusing on the experiences of Jurgis Rudkus and his family as they navigate the harsh realities of industrial America. It delves into themes of social injustice, poverty, and the immigrant experience in urban America, painting a vivid picture of their struggles and hopes. At the start of the story, we meet Jurgis and Ona on their wedding day in a crowded, boisterous hall filled with family and friends celebrating their union. The atmosphere is lively, with Marija Berczynskas, Ona's energetic cousin, taking charge of the festivities. Despite the joyful occasion, the scene is tinged with the difficulties the family faces, which are reflected in their extravagant spending on the celebration amidst their meager financial circumstances. As the wedding party unfolds, we're introduced to a colorful mix of characters, each embodying the hopes and challenges of immigrant life, setting the stage for the unfolding narrative of their collective experience in Chicago's brutal working conditions and societal issues.
