The text, which reflects life in rural Finland, particularly the establishment of a local school in a small community, brings to life the struggles and resistance of an elderly farmer named Ylli Mäkelä, who grapples with the changing times and the push for modernization. The narrative intricately weaves through themes of tradition versus progress, emphasizing the impact of education on rural life. The opening of "Vanhoillinen" introduces us to Ylli Mäkelä, who has built a prosperous farmhouse on land that was once wilderness. He is depicted as a proud yet stubborn individual, resistant to the idea of a local school that his son-in-law, Erkki, supports. Ylli's interactions with both his family and the local pastor illustrate his conflict between maintaining traditional ways and navigating the encroaching modern values represented by new educational initiatives. As the story unfolds, the tension builds around the need for a school in the community and the differing opinions within Ylli's family, highlighting the generational divide and the challenges of adapting to a rapidly evolving society.
