"Yötä ja aamua: Puheita vapautemme huomenhetkinä" by Maila Talvio is a collection of speeches and reflective essays written in the early 20th century. The work centers on themes of national freedom, collective suffering, and the dawn of a new era for the Finnish people, as well as their kindred nations. Through its historical and emotional lens, the book addresses moments of turmoil and hope during Finland’s struggle for independence and in relation to other oppressed peoples in Eastern Europe. The opening of the book begins with the story “Lunnaat,” introducing two brothers, Eerikki and Janne, who stand on a hill between their homesteads listening to the distant sounds of war. Their uneasy conversation reveals old familial resentments, fears for their sons embroiled in conflict, and the tension between loyalty, envy, and survival. As violence encroaches, the brothers’ relationship is tested by betrayal, loss, and the sudden reversal of fortune. This narrative segues into a series of oratorical pieces reflecting on Finland’s liberation, the shared suffering of neighboring nations, and the deep, often painful bonds of kinship and collective memory.
