Very difficult to read. Produced by Jari Koivisto and Tapio Riikonen "Päiväkirja matkaltani Venäjällä, ja käynti Leo Tolstoin luona keväällä 1899" by Arvid Järnefelt is a travel diary written in the late 19th century. The book chronicles the author’s reflections and experiences during his journey through Russia, with a particular focus on his visit to the renowned writer Leo Tolstoi. Järnefelt wrestles with his own indecisiveness about embarking on the trip, revealing insights into his personal thoughts about travel, duty, and the cultural context of the time. At the start of the narrative, Järnefelt discusses his hesitation and internal struggles about leaving his peaceful rural life in Finland to travel to Russia, culminating in a sudden decision driven by social pressures and the pull of adventure. As he travels through Petersburg, he vividly describes the bustling city life, expressing both fascination and disconnection to the people and politics surrounding him, particularly concerning Finnish matters within the broader Russian landscape. He contemplates the societal dynamics he encounters, emphasizing themes of alienation and curiosity about the cultural and political climate of the region, which sets the stage for his encounter with Tolstoi and further explorations in the following chapters.
