"Apina, joka ei ottanut kuollakseen: kertomuksia" by Henry Drummond is a collection of whimsical tales written in the early 20th century. The book centers around an extraordinary monkey named Vekkuli who possesses an uncanny ability to survive numerous attempts on his life, creating a series of comedic and engaging adventures that explore themes of resilience, friendship, and the absurdity of life. The narrative follows Vekkuli from his chaotic beginnings as a troublemaking pet in a missionary's home to his unexpected rise to prominence on a ship called the Vulcan. Through a series of misadventures, including being hanged and thrown overboard yet surviving each ordeal, Vekkuli captures the hearts of the crew and becomes a legendary figure. Eventually, he encounters a shepherd on a remote island, further exploring the quirky dynamics between humans and animals. The book weaves together humor and moral lessons while showcasing the enduring spirit of an indomitable monkey, making it a delightful read for those who enjoy lighthearted storytelling.
