Finnish Onnen suosikki: Romaani E-text prepared by Juhani Kärkkäinen and Tapio Riikonen "Onnen suosikki: Romaani" by Jack London is a novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative begins in a lively tavern known as Tivoli, set in Circle City during the Klondike Gold Rush. The focus is on the main character, Elam Hamish, known as "Burning Daylight," who is a well-regarded gold miner and adventurer. The opening scenes depict a vibrant atmosphere filled with gambling, dancing, and camaraderie among miners, showcasing the spirit and challenges of life in the Yukon frontier. At the start of the story, the atmosphere in Tivoli is initially somber, but it quickly transforms with the arrival of Burning Daylight, who brings energy and excitement to the room. Descriptions of various characters and their interactions set the scene for the ruggedness and liveliness of mining camp life. We witness Daylight's charismatic nature as he engages with others, inviting them to celebrate his upcoming birthday, while the camaraderie among miners hints at themes of friendship, risk, and the pursuit of fortune on the wild frontier. As he prepares for a new venture into the wilderness, Daylight is portrayed as both a formidable figure and a man with a deep connection to the land and its hardships.
