Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Squire Hellman: And Other Stories That this literature has hitherto entirely escaped the notice of foreign scholars is scarcely surprising when one considers the comparative isolation of the Finnish people and the superlative difficulty of the Finnish language; but that it will become known, one day, may be fairly assumed in an age so greedy of discoveries and so curious of novelties as our own. In the meantime, a brief description of this out-of-the-way corner of the Republic of Letters may, perhaps, serve as an introduction to the first English translation of a Finnish novel. The most characteristic and original of the Finnish novelists is Pietari Päivärinta. Born in 1827 of parents so poor that they were frequently forced to send out their children to beg bread for the starving family, he followed the plough till comparatively late in life when an accident laid him, for a time, on a bed of sickness.
