Juhani Kärkkäinen and Tapio Riikonen "Isä Johannes : kangastuskuvia keskiajan lopulta" by Lauri Soini is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The story is set during the late Middle Ages and follows the titular character, Father Johannes, as he navigates the complexities of life as a monk, dealing with themes of faith, duty, and personal relationships against the backdrop of societal and political upheaval. The opening of the work introduces us to the cloistered life of the monks at a Dominican monastery in Turku. Father Johannes is depicted during a communal meal with fellow monks, where discussions on recent events reflect the struggles of the time, including political tensions in the region. A notable interaction occurs between Johannes and Brother Hincerus, who proposes the monks take a stand on current political matters, which Johannes opposes in favor of focusing on spiritual pursuits. Through these dialogues, we learn about Johannes's internal struggles with his desires, particularly concerning the concept of womanhood and his visions of an ideal life, setting the stage for his personal conflicts as he embarks on a new chapter of his life as a parish priest in the surrounding countryside.
