Seven Brothers. Novel by Aleksis Kivi. Translated from the original by Aðalsteinn Davíðsson. Illustrations by Akseli Gallen-Kallela.
With this novel, published in 1870, modern Finnish literature was born and the foundation for modern written language was laid. Here is a humorous description of national life, at once realistic, cheerful and poetic, completely different from anything written in Finland in the 19th century, when refined romanticism reigned with embellished images of the country and people. Here people quarrel, fly on the water, drink their wits out, even at Christmas, fight hunger and cold, are lazy and lazy but also courageous and hardworking. The story is illustrated by Aksel Gallen-Kallela, one of Finland's greatest artists.
