Harhama II
E-text prepared by Juhani Kärkkäinen and Tapio Riikonen
"Harhama II" by Maiju Lassila is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the protagonist, Harhama, who journeys to a desolate, rural area in Finland seeking solitude and a fresh start after experiencing life’s hardships. As he arrives at a remote house, he is confronted by various characters, including a mysterious woman who embodies several contradictions, provoking his thoughts on existence and the human condition. The opening of the novel introduces Harhama as he walks through a tranquil yet eerie forest landscape, reflecting a sense of melancholy and introspection. He arrives at his new home, where he meets an unknown woman who offers him shelter. Their conversation reveals the tension between Harhama’s desire for isolation and his discomfort with the woman’s friendly overtures. The atmosphere is richly described, emphasizing both the beauty and emptiness of his surroundings. Harhama’s internal struggle with his past, his motivations for retreating to the wilderness, and his complex feelings towards the woman set the stage for a deeper exploration of existential themes that are likely to unfold throughout the narrative.
