| Summary | "Pakolaiset" by Johannes Linnankoski is a novel first published in the early 20th century. The story primarily revolves around Juha Uutela, a widower on the verge of a life-changing decision as he contemplates re-entering the world of courtship and marriage in his later years. The narrative explores themes of aging, love, and societal expectations through Juha's interactions with his sister and friends, highlighting the complexities of human relationships and the pursuit of happiness. At the start of the novel, we meet Juha Uutela as he finishes shaving and reflects on his appearance, feeling youthful despite his age. His conversation with his sister reveals his intentions to marry a much younger woman, Manta, which sparks both surprise and concern from her. As they discuss his past and motivations, we see Juha's longing for connection and the desire to defy societal norms surrounding love and age. This opening portion effectively sets the stage for deeper explorations into Juha's character, his relationships, and the unfolding drama surrounding his plans for a new marriage amidst the complexities of life and societal expectations.
