Sauramo, Lauri Soininen, Lauri Turso, Iku 80455790 Pyhä hymy: Historiallinen kertomus Hemming piispan päiviltä Produced by Juhani Kärkkäinen and Tapio Riikonen "Pyhä hymy: Historiallinen kertomus Hemming piispan päiviltä" by Lauri Soini is a historical narrative written in the early 20th century. The book unfolds in 14th century Finland, centering around the life and times of Hemming, a bishop during a tumultuous period marked by religious fervor and societal change. The narrative delves into themes of faith, artistry, and the human condition as it portrays the lives of characters entwined with the church, including the elderly artist Konradus and his interactions with the younger Anu and Anni. The opening of the story introduces Konradus, a seasoned and somewhat cantankerous artist, who reflects on his life while navigating the streets of Turku. As he contemplates his work, we witness his relationships with younger characters like Anu and Anni, who are drawn to both the spirit of the marketplace and the church. The narrative is set against the background of a vibrant town, where the characters express youthful dreams and aspirations amidst the looming presence of both the bishop and societal pressures. As they interact and share their stories, the tension between personal desire and communal duty begins to emerge, setting the stage for deeper explorations of character and theme as the story progresses.
