E-text prepared by Juhani Kärkkäinen and Tapio Riikonen "Erakkomaisteri: Romaani" by Osmo Lajula is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story explores the life of a teacher named Samuli Särkkä, who reflects on his job and the challenges he faces while preparing students' grade reports. Central to the narrative are the relationships and experiences of young students, particularly a young boy named Pekka Kontio, as they navigate academic pressures and the innocence of first love. The opening of the novel introduces us to Samuli Särkkä, a dedicated history and Finnish language teacher, as he works diligently at his desk preparing report cards under the bright May sun. As he grapples with grading, he reflects on his own experiences as an impoverished farm boy and the burdens of student evaluations. When a student, Pekka Kontio, comes to meet him, Särkkä confronts the boy's poor performance in history, leading to a moment of vulnerability and understanding between teacher and student. The story hints at the emotional complexities of childhood, including first loves and the pressure of academic expectations. As Pekka leaves Särkkä’s office, it's evident that the narrative will delve into themes of innocence, growth, personal relationships, and the teacher-student dynamic in a youthful setting.
