Juhani Kärkkäinen and Tapio Riikonen "Pohjalaisia ja peräpohjalaisia" by Juho Koskimaa is a collection of narratives written in the early 20th century. The work delves into the lives and challenges of people inhabiting the northern wilderness of Finland, capturing their struggles with nature, poverty, and social dynamics. Each story presents rich character studies, exploring themes of survival, resilience, and the human condition. The opening of the book introduces us to Eera Mantselmus, a guardian of the poro fence in the desolate wilderness, who remains vigilant against thieves from the Russian side. As he awaits his colleague, Eera reflects on the changing landscape of theft and lawlessness in the region, revealing his experiences and mindset as a protector of his territory. The passage sets a tone of isolation and tension, presenting Eera as a capable, if weary, individual, while hinting at deeper societal issues stemming from poverty and desperation faced by both the local and the intruding characters. The depiction of the raw wilderness alongside personal struggles promises an engaging exploration of life in a remote part of Finland.
