Produced by Helvi Ollikainen and Tapio Riikonen "Auringon poika: Seikkailuja Etelämerellä" by Jack London is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book transports readers to the South Seas, centering around the adventures of David Grief, a wealthy and charismatic white man navigating the intricacies of life in the tropics. Grief's encounters in this vibrant, perilous setting showcase the dualities of life—wealth and desperation, civilization and savagery, existence and adventure. The opening of the novel introduces the anchored ship "Willi-Vaw", where tensions rise among the crew due to the oppressive heat and dwindling supplies. David Grief, a prominent figure, is revealed to be in an unstable financial situation, burdened by debts to another local businessman, Harrison J. Griffiths. As Griffiths struggles against mounting frustration over his circumstances, Grief's dynamic character and the brewing conflict establish a strong foundation for the unfolding story. The conflicts between the characters, particularly surrounding debt and survival, illustrate the intensity of life in the South Seas, setting the stage for the adventures and trials ahead.
