Summary "Uusi aika: Romaani" by Santeri Alkio is a novel written in the early 20th century. This book explores the life and dynamics of a youth association in a small village, focusing on the interactions between the young members and the older generation, revealing the tensions between tradition and modernity. The main character, Väinö Kanteleinen, a newly appointed school teacher, becomes a central figure as he attempts to inspire the youth and navigate the complexities of village life. At the start of the story, we are introduced to the Jokiranta youth association, which has been active over the summer with various sports and activities, much to the dismay of the older villagers who criticize their energy and enthusiasm. Despite the neglect of the association's premises, the youth are eager to engage in competitions and revelry, which further alienates them from the older generation. The narrative hints at an upcoming meeting where Kanteleinen, the new school teacher, offers to step in as the association's leader amid the disorder and disinterest that have plagued it. He aims to bring a sense of purpose and responsibility to the group, confronting the challenges posed by both the youth and the apprehensive village elders as he strives to foster a positive environment for self-improvement.
