Rajalahden torppa: Kertomus viimeisestä Suomen sodasta
Tapio Riikonen
"Rajalahden torppa: Kertomus viimeisestä Suomen sodasta" by J. O. Åberg is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds during the Finnish War of 1808-1809, focusing on Finnish soldiers engaged in resistance against Russian forces. The main characters introduced include vääpeli Roth, who is planning daring raids to hinder the enemy's supply lines, and Spof, his steadfast companion, along with local figures like the wise yet sometimes stubborn old soldier Yrjö Kinnunen and the lovely Ilma Kinnunen, who is caught in familial and romantic conflicts amid the turmoil of the war. At the start of the story, three Finnish men stealthily approach a military cabin by Näsijärvi on a beautiful summer evening in 1808. The opening scene describes their surroundings with vivid imagery, highlighting their concern for the looming threat from Russian invaders. Vääpeli Roth devises a daring plan to disrupt Russian troop movements, and discussions among the men reveal their camaraderie, their motivations to protect their homeland, and their determination to face the impending conflict together. Additionally, personal dynamics are introduced, such as Roth's interactions with the young Ilma, setting the stage for intertwining themes of love and war that will develop throughout the narrative.
