| Summary | "Valkoinen ja musta" by Veikko Korhonen is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around a rural family, the Majamäkis, and their emotional struggles as the son, Risto, prepares to leave for military service. The book explores themes of family bonds, the weight of expectations, and the conflicts between duty and personal feelings in the face of societal turmoil. At the start of the novel, the Majamäki household is introduced, showcasing the quiet life they lead in their ancestral home. The aging father, Majamäki, is contemplative about his only son Risto's imminent departure for the army, feeling pride and concern in equal measure. Risto's attitude toward leaving is more cavalier; he views his enlistment as an exciting new chapter, while the family dynamics reflect a mixture of yearning and tension. As Risto contemplates his relationships, particularly with Elina, the daughter of a neighboring estate, the narrative sets the stage for an exploration of love, loyalty, and the impact of war on personal lives.
