Project Gutenberg 2015-04-07 Public domain in the USA. 36 Järnefelt, Arvid 1861 1932 Kahila, Hilja Jarnefelt, Arvid Nuoruuteni muistelmia E-text prepared by Jari Koivisto and Tapio Riikonen "Nuoruuteni muistelmia" by Arvid Järnefelt is a memoir written in the early 20th century. The narrative reflects on the author's childhood experiences, emphasizing the struggles of self-identity and the profound impressions of the surrounding world, particularly the nuances of family life and rural existence. Through the lens of the main character, who is depicted as a torpantytto (a farm girl), the memoir explores themes of innocence, curiosity, and the challenges of growing up. The opening portion of the memoir establishes a philosophical and poetic tone as the narrator compares the pursuit of understanding oneself to the scientific exploration of the universe. The narrator envisions grasping the essence of existence, only to find that the search leads back to her own humble beginnings as a simple girl in a small home surrounded by animals. As she reflects on her role within her family and the broader world, she grapples with notions of significance and identity, ultimately recognizing her connection to a larger context. This introspective journey sets the stage for her encounters with her immediate environment and the people who shape her understanding of life, highlighting the bittersweet nature of childhood dreams versus adult realities.
