| Summary | "Juha" by Juhani Aho is a novel written during the early 20th century. This work delves into the life of Juha, a simple farmer navigating personal strife and longing, primarily centered around his relationship with his wife, Marja. The story paints a vivid picture of rural life, the challenges of nature, and the emotional complexities of human relationships. The opening of "Juha" introduces the titular character, a long and lean farmer engaged in the laborious task of clearing land for cultivation. As Juha works, he reflects on the recent tensions with Marja, who appears to harbor resentment towards him, particularly verbal jabs concerning his physical appearance. Juha’s thoughts reveal a man weighed down by memories of better times and current discontent. His solitary labors are interrupted by brief flashes of nostalgia for Marja's early affections and their shared aspirations. However, there is a palpable tension as Juha grapples with feelings of inadequacy and the haunting absence of their children, leading to a somber exploration of love, regret, and hope in their rural existence.
