Summary: "Jylhänmäkeläiset" by Juho Hoikkanen is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book revolves around the life of Pekka, the youngest son of Isoahola, who is experiencing a troubling change in his behavior that borders on madness. As he grapples with his emotions, including a mysterious pull towards a girl named Eveliina, the story unfolds against a backdrop of societal expectations and personal desire. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Pekka, whose erratic behavior contrasts sharply with the joy and vitality of his peers during the summer season. He isolates himself, appearing lost and obsessed with his thoughts, often engaging in strange soliloquies. His father observes Pekka's increasing absence and speculates about his relationship with Eveliina, but events take a deeper turn when Pekka secretly visits Hilma's home, revealing a complicated connection with her. Their tense conversation explores themes of love, obligation, and regret, setting the stage for the unfolding drama in both their lives. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
