| Summary |
"Isäin pahat teot lasten päällä" by Pietari Päivärinta is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around two brothers, Juho and Lauri, who are farmers living in a prosperous household where moral values and inheritance tensions unfold. The narrative follows Juho, the son of Lauri, as conflicts arise around upbringing, familial expectations, and the corrupting influence of wealth. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to the stable family dynamic within the Kanniainen household, contrasting the older brother Juho's childless, reserved life with Lauri, who is struggling with the financial pressures of raising his children. Tensions grow as Lauri's envy over Juho's savings leads him down a path of moral decay, prompting a series of troubling decisions that ultimately affect their families. Lauri's permissive parenting and Juho's reckless ways come to a head, suggesting the deterioration of both family and community values in the face of wealth and ambition.
