| Summary | "Tervanpolttajat: Ynnä muita kertomuksia pohjan periltä" by Salomo Pulkkinen is a collection of short stories written in the early 20th century. The stories explore the lives and struggles of people in rural Finland, often focusing on labor-intensive tasks like tar burning and the nuances of daily life. Through relatable characters like Antti and his wife Liisa, the work delves into themes of hardship, resilience, and the interconnectedness of community. At the start of the collection, the narrative introduces Lehtilahden Antti, who is preparing to burn tar in his newly built tar pit, a vital task for his livelihood. His wife, Liisa, worries about the logistics of the tar-burning process, particularly the “hautahamari” (fire tool) while their relative Kanalan Jussi offers unwelcome commentary. The scene illustrates their rural life, highlighting the practical challenges they face as well as the light banter between characters. As the fire is ignited, their hopes and anxieties about the outcome unfold, setting the stage for both the physical labor involved and the underlying dynamics of their interactions amidst the backdrop of the Finnish countryside.
