Juhani Kärkkäinen and Tapio Riikonen "Sairas veri: Romaani" by Veikko Korhonen is a novel written in the early 20th century. This story delves into the struggles of a farming family, particularly focusing on the main character, Pentti, who grapples with the weight of familial expectations, the hardship of rural life, and the pressure from societal norms. The narrative explores themes of laziness, aspiration, and the concept of heritage, particularly in relation to the burdens passed down through generations. The opening of the novel introduces us to Pentti, who is seen sitting listlessly by a ditch, contemplating his life as a farmer. His thoughts reveal a sense of dissatisfaction and fatigue with the arduous work of the land, as well as frustration with his family's expectations, especially from his father, Elia. Throughout these initial passages, we learn of Pentti's conflicting desires for both a simpler life away from the toil of farming and the urge to seek companionship, leading to aspirations of a future in the city. The dynamics of family and work set a tone of impending contrast between the allure of urban opportunities and the harsh realities of rural existence, setting the stage for Pentti's internal and external conflicts as the plot unfolds.
