Juhani Kärkkäinen and Tapio Riikonen "Yksin elämässä: Novelleja" by Kyösti Wilkuna is a collection of short stories written in the early 20th century. The stories delve into themes of solitude, existential reflection, and the human condition, often portraying the inner struggles of the main characters. Through various narratives, the reader is introduced to characters like Herra Launola, who grapples with profound feelings of exhaustion and emptiness in his life. The opening of the collection introduces Herra Launola, an architect working late in his office as autumn dusk settles in. Consumed by a sense of frustration and weariness, he battles with intrusive memories and emotions that threaten to overwhelm him. As he contemplates his existence, Launola is interrupted by a phone call from friends inviting him to join their evening festivities, but he is reluctant, feeling isolated in his disillusionment. In a moment of despair, he retrieves a revolver, contemplating suicide but is then struck by the fleeting thought of his deceased mother. Finally, he exits his office into the night, symbolizing his attempt to escape his haunting thoughts and the weight of his solitude. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
