Finnish Miehetön kylä $aHämeenlinna :$bArvi A. Karisto Oy, $c1929. Juhani Kärkkäinen and Tapio Riikonen "Miehetön kylä" by Kálmán Mikszáth is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative centers on the small village of Szelistye, which is overwhelmingly populated by women due to the loss of men to warfare, leaving the community in a dire need for male population. The novel explores themes of power dynamics, gender roles, and the societal implications of war, while introducing notable characters such as the nobleman Mikael Szilágyi and the women of Szelistye who seek aid from the ruling class. The opening of "Miehetön kylä" unfolds with a detailed description of Szelistye’s history and current plight in the backdrop of a war-torn society. As the story progresses, noble figures like Szilágyi receive a comical and urgent delegation from the village women, who demand men to restore their community. The narrative humorously depicts the absurdity of their situation, contrasting the gallantry of the noble courts with the stark reality of the women’s needs. This setup establishes a vivid tableau where historical figures navigate the complexities of duty, gender, and survival, promising readers an engaging mix of drama and comedy in a richly layered historical context.
