| Summary | "Aikamme kuvia I-III" by Santeri Alkio is a collection of novellas written in the late 19th century. The book delves into the lives of Finnish characters in various social settings, exploring themes of class, morality, and everyday struggles. It presents a diverse array of situations that reflect the societal norms and issues of the time, exemplified through its characters’ interactions and decisions. The opening of the collection introduces Santeri Harakkainen, a humble cottager who encounters Mielonen, a prominent magistrate, in a town square. Their interaction leads to an exploration of social hierarchy and self-perception as Santeri grapples with the notion of inferiority in the presence of the influential Lautamies. This part highlights Santeri's eagerness to please and his feelings of unworthiness, all while presenting a humorous and insightful portrayal of their ensuing conversation about trivial matters, such as buying supplies and the nuances of drinking socially. The reader is drawn into the simplicity yet complexity of their lives, setting the tone for the rest of the novellas, which promise to reflect on human nature through relatable narratives.
