E-text prepared by Juhani Kärkkäinen and Tapio Riikonen "Ristiriitoja: Novelleja" by Selma Anttila is a collection of short stories written in the early 20th century. The work explores the complexities of life through various narratives and settings, delving into themes of love, ambition, and social commentary, likely depicting the experiences and transformations of characters in a changing society. The opening of the collection introduces a vivid and bustling scene along a bridge on a bright September Sunday, through the eyes of a narrator reflecting on the diverse crowd traversing the structure. This scene serves as a metaphor for the flow of life and the societal currents that sweep individuals along, each identified by their appearance and demeanor, which hints at their social status. From the descriptions of the people—the proud and vibrant well-dressed individuals to the exhaustion of laborers—a tapestry of human experience is woven together, encapsulating the vitality and struggles of the community in which they exist. The introductory narrative suggests a thematic focus on the interplay between individual aspirations and the broader societal currents that shape their destinies.
