Juhani Kärkkäinen and Tapio Riikonen "Synnin mitta : Kertomus nykyaikaisesta Lapista" by Arvi Järventaus is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story is set in modern Lapland and follows the life of Aslak Rosto, a complex character grappling with themes of guilt and morality amid the harshness of his environment. Aslak is portrayed as a skilled reindeer herder and a poro thief, living at the fringes of society, while also exploring the intersections of traditional beliefs and the influence of Christianity in his life. The opening of the novel introduces Aslak Rosto as he navigates the snowy landscape towards a nearby village, revealing his life as a reindeer herder who engages in questionable dealings. He reflects on the dual perceptions of himself—both as a provider to his community and a poronvarka, or reindeer thief, subject to scrutiny and judgment. The narrative captures Aslak’s interactions with other villagers, the customs of the local community, and hints at tensions surrounding his lifestyle choices, as he attempts to balance survival with the moral implications of his actions. The chapter sets the stage for deeper explorations of sin, redemption, and the character's inner conflicts throughout the story.
