Project Gutenberg 2020-06-20 Public domain in the USA. 13 Lähde, Vihtori 1867 1922 Lahde, Vihtori Lähde, Juhana Vihtori Kohtaus kuntakokouksessa Tapio Riikonen "Kohtaus kuntakokouksessa" by Vihtori Lähde is a dramatic play written in the early 20th century. The piece revolves around a municipal meeting in a rural Finnish community, where various local residents gather to discuss issues that directly affect them, particularly the proposal to allocate funds for a library. The central themes in the book highlight the tensions between progress and tradition, as well as the conflicting views on the influence of alcohol on society. In the play, characters represent a cross-section of the community, including a schoolteacher, a pastor, a brewery owner, and local villagers, each with their unique perspectives. As the debate unfolds, it becomes clear that not everyone is in favor of supporting the library; instead, many believe it would be a waste of resources, especially in light of the local brewery's impact on social issues. The discussion reveals deep-rooted sentiments about education, morality, and the struggle against alcoholism, exemplified by the tragic story of Tiensuun Mikko, a character who suffers the dire consequences of alcoholism. Ultimately, the meeting culminates in a vote that reflects the struggle between enlightenment and tradition, leaving the audience to ponder the true cost of progress in their community.
