The narrative explores themes of nature, class struggle, and the quest for personal freedom as it follows the lives of individuals in the rural Finnish setting of Rämsänranta. Central to the story are characters like Herkko Tapio, a laborer yearning for a better life in the untouched wilderness, and Taavetti Juntunen, a wise old man who critiques the oppressive social structures of their world. At the start of the novel, the reader is introduced to a vivid depiction of nature as well as the existential struggles faced by the working class. The opening passage presents a longing for tranquility in the forest, contrasting the harsh noise of urban life, while following a group of men resting at a remote cabin. Among them, Taavetti Juntunen conveys a sense of disillusionment towards the ruling class as he articulates grievances against the forest authorities, lamenting their exploitation. In parallel, we meet Herkko Tapio, who has returned to his rural roots with hopes of establishing a home amidst the familiar landscapes, reflecting on his societal struggles and aspirations for freedom and self-determination.
