About this book

In the late 19th century, Finland faced significant social and economic challenges, prompting many to consider emigration as a means of survival. "Suomesta pois: Kuvaus keväältä 1899" by Maila Talvio captures this pivotal moment through the lens of Finnish farmers torn between their homeland and the promise of a better life abroad. The play intricately explores themes of identity and belonging, highlighting the struggles of those who confront the harsh realities of rural life and the allure of distant opportunities. Ideal for students, civic activists, and historians, this two-act drama offers a poignant reflection on the human spirit's resilience in the face of adversity. Delve into the emotional landscape of emigration with this compelling work that resonates across generations.
