Summary "Erämaan lapset: Historiallisia kertomuksia V" by Kyösti Wilkuna is a historical fiction novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative explores the themes of identity, faith, and cultural conflict, highlighting the life of Pietari Kaukovalta, a young man returning to his homeland after being raised by Christians, with the purpose of converting his native people back to Christianity. The opening of the story presents Pietari Kaukovalta as he travels through the Finnish wilderness, filled with memories of his childhood and the challenges he faces as a Christian missionary. After years of living among Christians in another land, he is determined to rekindle his faith within his native people, who have reverted to paganism. His journey is marked by a poignant encounter with an old man by a fire, who shares stories about a leader named Jurva Kaikkivaltas, Pietari's father, who opposes Christianity. This sets the stage for underlying tensions between Pietari's new beliefs and his father's influence, establishing a narrative rich in historical context and personal struggle.
