Summary
|
"Eduskuntalaisten koulu: 1-näytöksinen pila" by Jalmari Finne is a comedic play written in the early 20th century. The book serves as a satire on the Finnish parliamentary system, illustrating the absurdities and challenges faced by politicians and their public speaking skills within a comedic framework. The setting takes place in a modest apartment, mirroring the societal dynamics and political climate of its time. The narrative revolves around the character of August Veikkanen, an actor who conducts speech lessons for members of parliament, including prominent figures like Lehtori Hirvenrinta and Tohtori Wahlbom. As they prepare for their training, the play captures a humorous exchange filled with comedy about political rhetoric and the challenges of public speaking. Throughout the scenes, characters grapple with their identities as politicians while engaging in discussions that reflect their political affiliations and the overall tension in Finnish society. The chaotic practice sessions are filled with misunderstandings, comedic skits, and observations about the nature of politics, ultimately ending with the characters rushing off to a parliamentary session, leaving behind a trail of humorous mishaps.
