Summary "Lehtiviidan torppari: Nykyajan kuvaus" by Eero Järvinen is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The story presents a vivid portrayal of the lives of impoverished farm laborers in a rural Finnish setting, focusing on the struggles faced by the main characters, Katri and Antti Komulainen, as they navigate the challenges imposed by their social and economic circumstances. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Katri, who anxiously prepares coffee while awaiting the return of her husband, Antti, who has faced a judgment that threatens their livelihood. Antti enters with news of heavy penalties and the possible loss of their home, leading to a tense and emotional conversation between the couple. Their daughter, Elli, introduces a moment of innocence amidst the despair, bonding with her father. The narrative quickly establishes the oppressive socio-political environment, highlighting issues of class struggle as Antti contemplates the injustices faced by him and his fellow farmers, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of their plight against the landed gentry.
