Project Gutenberg 2017-07-04 Public domain in the USA. 102 Alfthan, Johannes 1830 1893 En sommarsaga från Finland Produced by Helvi Ollikainen and Tapio Riikonen "En sommarsaga från Finland" by Johannes Alfthan is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story is set against the backdrop of Finland during a time of national awakening and revolves around the experiences of a young Swedish engineer, Erik Stenrot, as he travels to Finland to understand the nation's developing identity. In addition to Erik, significant characters include his cousin Jenny and Birger Ros, a Finn who represents the complexities of Finland's struggle for self-definition in relation to its Swedish neighbors. At the start of the narrative, Erik Stenrot bids farewell to his cousin Jenny in Stockholm as he prepares for his journey to Finland, where he hopes to study the evolving Finnish culture and society. As he departs, there is a hint of tension in their relationship, particularly as Jenny herself is planning a journey "inkognito" to an unspecified destination, leaving Erik curious yet somewhat neglected. The opening chapters present a lively dialogue between Erik and his acquaintances, alongside reflections on Finnish nationalism and the societal changes occurring in the region, setting the stage for deeper explorations of identity, cultural conflicts, and personal relationships throughout the novel.
