"Viimeinen matka : Novelleja" by Konrad Lehtimäki is a collection of short stories written in the early 20th century. The book captures the complexities of human emotions and experiences through various narratives, focusing on themes such as survival, freedom, and the struggles of everyday life. Notably, the stories seem to recount the turbulent times faced by individuals against a backdrop of societal challenges. The opening of the collection introduces the story "Karkuri," featuring Aarne Aitio, a man on the run who has narrowly escaped the clutches of authorities. As he embarks on a perilous journey for freedom, we witness his anxiety and determination as he boards a ship heading towards hope. The narrative vividly depicts his internal conflict as he grapples with past traumas and the longing for his family while evading capture. Aarne's desperation culminates in a tense chase with soldiers, encapsulating the precariousness of his situation and setting the stage for a gripping exploration of resilience in the face of overwhelming odds.
