Summary "Veikaten vihille: Romaani" by Kaarlo Terhi is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers on the life of the protagonist, who is a middle-aged bachelor navigating social interactions and expectations surrounding marriage, as he grapples with his identity and desire for companionship. The narrative is marked by humor and self-reflection, illuminating societal norms and personal struggles related to love and relationships. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to the main character during a Kalle Day celebration in 1920, where he humorously reflects on the pressures of marriage and begins to realize that his single status is a source of ridicule among his peers. After a series of comical and slightly embarrassing incidents involving a misaligned tie and a bet on his marital status, he decides that he will marry by the end of the year. This decision brings him a newfound sense of peace as he contemplates the possibility of settling down, setting the stage for his search for a suitable partner as the story unfolds. The opening elegantly blends satire with serious themes, hinting at both personal growth and societal expectations. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
