Aulén, Carl Johan Valtiopäivämies eli Kunnianhimo Produced by Tapio Riikonen "Valtiopäivämies eli Kunnianhimo" by Pehr Thomasson is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around Jussi Koponen, a successful farmer who is plagued by ambition and the desire to become a member of the state assembly, thus revealing the personal and social conflicts that arise from his aspirations. As Jussi navigates the world of politics and moral dilemmas, the book explores themes of ambition, deceit, and the struggle between personal desire and public perception. The opening of the novel introduces us to Jussi Koponen, who is depicted as a prosperous yet deeply conflicted man. On a beautiful autumn evening, he anxiously awaits a visitor, Veikko Kela, who represents a younger generation shaped by education and progressive ideals. As the two friends converse, it becomes clear that Jussi harbors a burning desire to become a "valtiopäivämies" (a member of the state assembly), although he publicly feigns disinterest for fear of damaging his reputation. The dialogue quickly reveals Jussi's cunning nature and strategic mindset, as he plots against the sitting assemblyman, Olli Toiminen, even recruiting Veikko into his ambitions. This sets the stage for a tale replete with political maneuvering, moral ambiguity, and the unlikely companionship between Jussi and his friends.
