"Siitä nousi hirmuinen prosessi: Kertomus" by Ilmari Kivinen is a fictional narrative written in the early 20th century. The story is set in a small town that offers a vivid depiction of its residents, their intertwined lives, and the conflicts that arise between neighbors. The plot appears to center around two families, the Menlöses and the Montonens, whose trivial disagreements escalate into a larger conflict that seemingly disrupts the peace of the community. The opening of the book introduces the town and its essence, illustrating its physical landscape and the daily lives of its inhabitants. Kivinen presents a richly detailed setting, describing the city’s streets, architecture, and the characters such as Johan Alfred Menlös, a retired poorhouse's steward, and his family. The narrative dives into the domestic tranquility of the Menlös household contrasted with the budding tensions with the Montonens, sparked by seemingly harmless incidents like the passing of a filthy sack between neighbors. As both families react to these incidents, their lives intertwine in ever more complicated and absurd ways, previewing the humorous yet serious examination of societal relationships and misunderstandings that is likely to unfold in the story.
