"Tuskaa: Kuvaus raukoilta rajoilta" by Väinö Kataja is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around a young gentleman named Waltteri Ulfsköld, a forest manager from southern Finland, who travels north for a position in Lapland. As he journeys through the cold landscapes of Finland, he grapples with his emotions and curiosity about the unfamiliar territory and its people, particularly about a mysterious character known as Eila. At the start of the novel, we follow Waltteri as he travels by train and then by horse-drawn sleigh toward his new position, feeling both excited and apprehensive about his impending move to Lapland. He is depicted as a well-educated young man, unused to the harsh realities of northern life. Upon nearing his destination, he experiences a mingling of anticipation and trepidation as he reflects on the fantastical tales he has heard about the region. The narrative beautifully paints his initial encounters in the wintry setting, the cultural juxtaposition he faces, and hints at the deeper connection he will form with Eila, the local girl whose life is intertwined with the enchanting yet challenging essence of Lapland.
