Tapio Riikonen "Sydänmailta: Novelleja ja tunnelmia" by Veikko Korhonen is a collection of short stories written in the early 20th century. The work delves into themes of hardship and human struggle against the backdrop of rural life, focusing on characters facing poverty, desperation, and moral dilemmas. The first story introduces Pentti Ronkanen, a man consumed by poverty and driven to contemplate arson as a means to acquire insurance money. The opening of the book presents Pentti Ronkanen, who lives in a dilapidated house with his family in a rural area. As the story unfolds, Pentti's dire economic situation is exacerbated by his envy of those better off, eventually leading him to consider setting his own home ablaze to claim insurance money. The narrative illustrates his psychological turmoil as he grapples with the implications of his thoughts, his life choices, and the profound fear of being discovered after executing his desperate plan. As he waits in the shadows after the fire, the complex web of guilt and greed unfolds, setting the stage for the consequences of his actions.
