| Summary | "Rahan orja" by Eino Leino is a novel written in the early 20th century, specifically in the early 1910s. The book delves into themes of wealth, social status, and personal identity against the backdrop of early capitalist society. The protagonist, Johannes Tamminen, is depicted as a man struggling with his life choices and the implications of his social standing, primarily centered around his relationship with his wife, Irene, and their daughter, Seidi. The opening of the novel sets a vivid scene as it transitions from a rainy May to a vibrant June in Paris, where the bustling life of the wealthy unfolds. Johannes, who has been driven by the pursuit of financial success, finds himself at a crossroads — grappling with feelings of shame and inadequacy within his marriage. He reflects on his past, his childhood connections to socialism, and the stark contrast between his aspirations and the reality he faces. As his family travels, Johannes encounters a mix of emotions, including envy and discontent, which are intensified by conversations with Irene and her cousin Signe. This tension reveals Johannes' internal struggle with his identity and his place in a society that places immense value on wealth and social recognition.
