Ollin-Mikko, Aapon-Ulla ja Ullan-Eino: Kertomus kylän takalistolta
Tapio Riikonen
"Ollin-Mikko, Aapon-Ulla ja Ullan-Eino: Kertomus kylän takalistolta" by Väinö Kataja is a fictional narrative likely written in the early 20th century. The book centers around the daily life of Mikko, a miller, as he navigates the challenges of rural life in Finland and the changing seasons, particularly the arrival of spring. The story also hints at the dynamics within his family, including his wife Ulla and their son Eino, reflecting on themes of work, survival, and familial relationships. The opening of the narrative introduces Mikko struggling with the delayed arrival of spring, which has left the local mills idle and the community facing a shortage of flour. Despite the seemingly harsh conditions, the text showcases Mikko's resilient spirit as he anticipates the spring thaw and the return of productivity. We see him visiting neighbors, engaging in daily tasks, and contemplating his family's needs while connecting deeply with the landscape. The interactions with his wife Ulla and son Eino set the groundwork for exploring their roles within the household and their reliance on one another as they face the impending challenges of the season ahead.
