Juhani Kärkkäinen and Tapio Riikonen "Murheen voima: Erämaan tarina" by Väinö Kataja is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story is set in the Finnish wilderness and follows the life of Lauri, a young farmer grappling with the challenges of rural existence and the emotional strain in his relationship with his wife, Aili. As seasons change and challenges grow, the themes of longing and solitude unfold against the backdrop of nature's harsh and breathtaking beauty. At the start of the narrative, we are introduced to Lauri and his efforts to harvest hay with his servant Inkeri. The day transitions from warmth to a chilling anticipation of frost, which evokes Lauri's deep-seated worries about the crops and his livelihood. His introspective thoughts reveal a profound sense of loss and disillusionment, particularly regarding Aili, whose happiness seems elusive. As the realities of his hard work and the harshness of their isolated life weigh heavily on him, Lauri's reflections begin to intertwine with memories of happier times, casting shadows on his present circumstances. The opening sets a tone of melancholy and foreboding, suggesting that Lauri's struggles are just beginning.
