| Summary |
"Kaksi partiopoikaa" by Ernest Thompson Seton is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story explores the life of Jan, a twelve-year-old boy fascinated by nature and the ways of the indigenous peoples, particularly the Indians. As he navigates his dual existence of school life and his deep yearning for the wilderness, readers are introduced to themes of adventure and the conflict between parental expectations and individual dreams. At the start of the novel, we meet Jan, an inquisitive boy whose fascination with nature causes tension with his father, who disapproves of such interests and worries they distract from his studies. Despite this, Jan frequently escapes into the fields and woods, yearning to learn more about animals and plants. He is depicted as diligent in school but frustrated by the lack of resources about his interests. The opening chapters vividly describe Jan's internal struggles, his interactions with his brothers, and his determination to pursue his love for the wild, setting the foundation for his adventures and discovery of personal identity throughout the narrative.
