Somewhat difficult to read. Produced by Tapio Riikonen "Hellaassa" by Santeri Ivalo is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around the central character, Eljas, as he grapples with the complexities of life, ideals, and the societal challenges of his time while preparing for a journey to Helsinki. Throughout the narrative, Eljas reveals his concerns about the moral decay he perceives in society, particularly impacting the youth, and reflects on his determination to uphold purity and idealism amidst temptations. The opening of "Hellaassa" sets the stage for Eljas's internal struggles and the societal atmosphere that surrounds him. He is introduced during a reflective moment in a damp and murky landscape, contemplating his departure to Helsinki, which he refers to as a potential Baabel, a place of moral danger. As he wrestles with his aspirations and fears, we learn about his strong convictions against the prevailing negativity he perceives in society. This inner monologue is interrupted by his interactions with a group of fellow students and their lively discussions, setting the tone for the exploration of youthful ambition and naiveté. The setting shifts to the Hellas tavern, where Eljas mingles with his peers, contrasting the lively atmosphere with his idealistic struggles, specifically concerning a young girl named Anni, who embodies both the innocence he wishes to protect and the societal decay he fears.
