Jari Koivisto "Luostarin kasvatti: Kertomus vanhasta Karjalasta" by Reino Rauanheimo is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The book explores themes of faith and cultural conflicts in the historical region of Karelia, introducing a central character, Ilja, a monk dedicated to converting the local populace to Christianity amidst prevailing pagan beliefs. At the start of the story, harsh winter conditions are described as a group of monks return to their monastery, Kuhasalo. Anticipating the arrival of Ilja, who is on a baptism journey, the monks engage in banter while waiting, revealing their apprehensions about local hostility and the challenges of their mission. When Ilja's party finally arrives, they discover the dire circumstances of some locals, prompting Ilja to act decisively to save a woman and her children who have succumbed to the cold. This initial encounter sets the stage for Ilja's commitment to his spiritual mission and highlights the struggles faced by both the monks and the local people during a time of socio-religious upheaval.
