Author Leino, Eino, 1878-1926
Title Kivesjärveläiset; Simo Hurtta; Bellerophon
Credits Produced by Tapio Riikonen
Summary "Kivesjärveläiset; Simo Hurtta; Bellerophon" by Eino Leino is a poetic work written in the early 20th century, specifically spanning the years from the late 19th century to the early 20th century. The book appears to encompass a collection of poems and narratives, touching on themes of Finnish folklore, nature, and human experiences against the backdrop of various historical and mythical contexts. Central characters seem to include figures like Simo Hurtta and various members of the Kivesjärvi community, who embark on personal journeys and face the existential challenges of their times. The opening of this work introduces an enchanting world rife with imagery and themes drawn from Finnish culture. It begins with a vivid description of Suomi, the land of sorrow and song, hinting at the profound connection between nature and the emotions of its inhabitants. Characters like Anja-rouva, a beautiful, spirited woman, surface throughout the verses as they navigate through the joys and tribulations of life, love, and possibly loss. The narrative progresses from celebratory wedding festivities to more somber and reflective moments, setting the stage for a tale imbued with a blend of joy and tragedy, and it deftly juxtaposes the vibrant essence of life with the shadows of fate that loom over the characters.
