Juhani Kärkkäinen and Tapio Riikonen "Savolainen 'neekeri' kesäreissulla: Pakinoita kesämatkalta Turusta Savoon" by Heikki Väli-Salmi is a collection of humorous travel essays written in the early 20th century. The book explores the experiences of the narrator as they embark on a summer trip from Turku to the Savo region, reflecting on the quirks of travel, societal observations, and the characters they encounter along the way. The tales are infused with personal anecdotes and social commentary, capturing the essence of Finnish summer travel. The opening of the book introduces readers to the narrator's mixed feelings about leaving Turku and their journey through the unremarkable landscapes of the Turku-Toijala train route. While lamenting the dull scenery, the narrator engages with fellow travelers, offering witty observations on the dullness of the journey and the behavior of other passengers. One notable interaction is with a polite woman who mistakenly believes that Kuopio is by the sea, prompting humorous exaggeration from the narrator. Throughout this initial segment, the narrator's light-hearted tone and keen observational humor provide a delightful setup for the various encounters and reflections that follow on their trip.
