| Summary | "Jälkipoimintoja 3: Kanttilaiset; Muistelmia katovuosilta" by Pietari Päivärinta is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book reflects on the devastating famine years experienced in Finland from 1862 to 1867, focusing on the effects of this period on the rural community of Kanttila and its inhabitants. Through poignant personal stories, the narrative explores themes of suffering, resilience, and the societal implications of scarcity. The opening portion of the work vividly describes the dire conditions faced by the people during these famine years, marked by extreme hunger and suffering. It begins with a reminiscence of the plight of the community, emphasizing the escalating desperation felt by families as aid dwindled, leading to multiple deaths. A scene unfolds with a visit from the governor to a poorhouse, highlighting the mismanagement and inadequate assistance for the starving populace. Central to the narrative is the character of Kanttilan Antti, whose neglectful and self-indulgent demeanor is contrasted with the heartfelt struggles of his wife and children. The beginning establishes a grim portrayal of survival, encapsulating the societal distress while foreshadowing the consequences of human frailty against such adversity.
