| Summary | "Suur-isänmaa: Romaani menneisyydestä, nykyisyydestä ja tulevaisuudesta" by Jalmari Kara is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book explores themes of war, national identity, and personal sacrifice through the story of its main character, Paavo Orri, a Finnish soldier during World War I, who navigates the complexities of battle and homecoming. The opening of the novel immerses readers in the somber yet tranquil atmosphere of the frontlines in 1916, where Finnish soldiers, referred to as the jägers, are preparing for an imminent attack. We are introduced to Paavo Orri, a young, determined soldier who seeks permission to join a perilous assault due to his yearning for action and a desire to contribute to the Finnish cause. The narrative portrays the camaraderie among soldiers as they share scarce food and engage in spirited discussions, capturing the tension and anticipation in the air before the conflict erupts. Through rich detail, the text establishes a sense of the personal stakes involved in the war, setting the stage for Orri's journey not only as a fighter but also as a young man grappling with his responsibilities and ambitions amidst the chaos of war.
