| Summary |
"Elias Lönnrotin nuoruuden ajoilta Laukon kartanossa" by Emil Fredrik Nervander is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book chronicles the early life and experiences of Elias Lönnrot, a key figure in Finnish literature, focusing on his time spent at Lauko Manor. It explores the influence of the Törngren family, particularly Professor Juhana Agapetus Törngren and his wife Eeva, on Lönnrot's development as a scholar and collector of Finnish folklore. At the start of the work, the author expresses gratitude to Adolf Törngren for providing letters and notes that are central to the narrative. The setting is established at Lauko Manor, noted for its serene environment and rich history. Readers are introduced to Juhana Törngren, a former soldier turned professor who becomes a significant mentor to Lönnrot. As Lönnrot navigates his challenging early years, he becomes a home tutor for the Törngren children, particularly focusing on Kaarlo Vilho, a boy with a troubled background. The narrative sets the stage for Lönnrot's transformative journey, highlighting key interactions and relationships that shape his future contributions to literature and culture.
