| Summary | "Pappiparka" by Kustaa Juuti is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around the life of Eenokki, the son of a recently deceased local farmer, Jeremias Jormanainen, as he aspires to become a priest while grappling with the expectations and burdens of family and societal duties. The narrative intricately explores themes of ambition, family dynamics, and rural life. At the start of the novel, the setting is established on a hot July evening in Karelia, with vivid descriptions of nature and the oppressive heat affecting both the land and its people. The focus is on Jeremias Jormanainen, who is on his deathbed calling his two sons, Jeremiaan and Eenokki, to give them his final blessings. The conversation reveals family secrets, financial struggles, and the burdens placed on the sons, particularly regarding Eenokki's education to become a priest, which is financially challenging. This opening portion hints at the conflicts and aspirations that will unfold as the characters navigate their intertwined lives in a changing society. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
