Finnish Mahtran sota Wikipedia page about this book: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahtra_s%C3%B5da Wikipedia page about this book: https://fi.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahtran_sota_(Vilde) E-text prepared by Juhani Kärkkäinen and Tapio Riikonen "Mahtran sota" by Eduard Vilde is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. It presents a detailed account of the so-called Mahtran uprising in 1858, focusing on the social strife and peasant unrest in Estonia. The story likely revolves around the struggles faced by the main characters involved in this conflict, including their interactions with both peers and authority figures, and highlights the grim realities of their lives. The opening portion of the novel sets the stage for the historical context by introducing the oppressive atmosphere surrounding the characters, where peasants are forced to work long hours under the harsh supervision of their masters. We see the grueling labor in a threshing barn and witness the cruelty exerted by figures such as the overseer and the kupias (merchant) towards the workers. Key characters, particularly Völlamäen Päärn and Kulbi-Kai, emerge amidst the tension as Päärn stands up for Kai when she is unjustly punished. This initial conflict hints at deeper themes of class struggle and oppression, laying a foundation for the broader narrative about the repercussions of the Mahtran uprising that followed.
