| Summary | "Seitsemän veljestä" by Aleksis Kivi is a novel written during the late 19th century, specifically first published in 1870. The book follows the lives and adventures of seven brothers—Juhani, Tuomas, Aapo, Simeoni, Timo, Lauri, and Eero—who are raised in rural Finland. The narrative explores their struggles against societal norms, their relationships with family and the outside world, and their humorous yet poignant attempts to transition into adulthood. The opening of the novel introduces the Jukola homestead, situated in southern Häme, and sets the stage for the brothers' lives. Their father, a passionate hunter, meets a tragic end while hunting, leaving the family in disarray and prompting the brothers to indulge in mischievous adventures instead of taking on responsibilities. Their childhood antics, such as raiding a henhouse and subsequently experiencing the consequences, paint a vivid picture of their bond and the wildness of their youth. As the story unfolds, the brothers are confronted with the need to mature, especially after their mother's passing, leading them to consider their roles within the family and society, particularly regarding the notion of marriage.
