"Kiannan rannoilta Kaspian poikki: Päiväkirjani kotimaassa ja Venäjällä v. 1902" by Ilmari Kianto is a travel diary written in the early 20th century. This work offers an intimate glimpse into the author's journey through Finland and into Russia, reflecting on nature, culture, and personal emotions. The diary potentially serves as a historical account that captures the sentiments and experiences of a traveler in a period marked by cultural exploration and national identity. The opening of the diary sets a nostalgic and personal tone, as the author, reflecting on leaving his beloved home, describes his journey down the Oulujoki River and through familiar landscapes. He introduces key figures such as Miidas and Elli, who provide a sense of connection to his past and his homeland. The narrative vividly describes various encounters and sights along his travels, from the serene beauty of the Finnish wilderness to the intimate conversations with local people. As the author embarks on this adventure toward the Caspian Sea, it becomes clear that he grapples with feelings of loneliness and longing, illustrating a deep emotional engagement with both his surroundings and the cultural tapestry he encounters.
