About this book

In the early 20th century, Finland grappled with the stark realities of rural life, where the peasantry faced relentless challenges against nature and societal constraints. "Punainen viiva" by Ilmari Kianto vividly captures this struggle, illustrating the resilience of its protagonist, Topi, as he navigates the harsh wilderness and the socio-economic pressures of his time. This poignant novel delves into the themes of survival and human dignity, offering a profound exploration of the unyielding spirit of the impoverished. Ideal for students, civic activists, and historians alike, "Punainen viiva" serves as a critical lens on Finland's agrarian past and the enduring fight for justice and identity in a transforming world.
