"Maahengen salaisuus: Tohtori salapoliisina" by Valter Juva is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Viktor Pohjamo, a scientist who receives an invitation for duck hunting at the grand estate of O. E. Malmfelt in Savo. Throughout the narrative, hunting camaraderie mixes with rising tensions between neighboring landowners over an ongoing legal dispute regarding a piece of land, hinting at themes of tradition, rivalry, and the social landscape of rural Finland. At the start of the story, Viktor Pohjamo arrives at Malmfelt's estate, welcomed by the host and a gathering of local dignitaries preparing for a night of duck hunting. As conversations unfold, the author introduces the dynamics of local aristocracy, touching on the characters' relationships and the underlying feud between Malmfelt and a neighbor, Wallenberg, over land claims. Interesting characters are established with distinct personalities, and through their dialogues about farming and agrarian secrets—particularly Wallenberg's mysterious "maahenki" or "land spirit"—the narrative hints at a deeper exploration of scientific inquiry into agriculture and land management, foreshadowing the intertwining of hunting and the quest for knowledge.
