| Summary |
"Förrädarens lön: Berättelse från sista finska kriget" by J. O. Åberg is a historical account written during the late 19th century. The book explores the themes of loyalty, betrayal, and patriotism in the context of the Finnish war against the Russians. The narrative delves into the emotional and moral struggles faced by soldiers and civilians alike as they confront the brutal realities of war. The story centers around Pekka Pirrtiainen, a proud farmer whose actions during the conflict lead him to be branded a traitor by his community. As the war intensifies, Pekka's daughter, Elli, embodies the struggle between familial loyalty and national allegiance. In a tense climax, Pekka faces the wrath of his fellow villagers, while Elli strives to save him from a mob seeking revenge. The tale weaves through themes of love, honor, and the heavy cost of betrayal against the backdrop of Finland's fight for independence, culminating in a tragic resolution that serves as a poignant reminder of the consequences of treachery in times of war.
