Tuomas Vitikka: Romaani

Tuomas Vitikka, son of a senate official from Helsinki's comfortable patriotic gentry, grows up among summer manors, speeches and the struggles of the years of Russian oppression. Eino Leino follows him and the people around him with satire for the slogans of the day and sympathy for a young man trying to find what he really believes. This book uses the racial and other slurs of its period as written; the Book Guide explains these words where they occur.
