About this book

In the early 20th century, as industrialization surged across Europe, the remote landscapes of Lapland became a frontier for timber harvesting. "Airiselän tukinajossa: Kuvaus Lapin rajoilta" by Väinö Kataja captures this pivotal moment through the eyes of Antti, a lumberman embarking on a grueling expedition. With vivid descriptions of the harsh wilderness and the intricate processes of logging, Kataja highlights the resilience required to navigate both the physical challenges and the economic demands of the time. This compelling narrative offers a unique glimpse into the cultural significance of timber and the connection between man and nature. Ideal for students and historians alike, this work enriches our understanding of early 20th-century Finnish life and industry.
