| Summary | "Köyhää kansaa; Salakari" by Minna Canth is a novel written during the early 20th century. The book delves into the struggles and hardships faced by a poor family, primarily focusing on the character Mari, who is depicted as a devoted mother grappling with the adversity of poverty and the illness of her child, Anni. The opening of the novel introduces readers to Mari and her desperate situation as she cares for her sick daughter, Anni. The family's home environment is marked by poverty, exhaustion, and a constant struggle for survival, as evidenced by Mari's sleepless night and the family's limited resources. The interactions between family members reveal the dynamics of their daily lives, including the father’s indifference and the children’s innocence, set against the backdrop of their distressing reality. The narrative paints a vivid picture of their challenges, emphasizing Mari’s emotional turmoil and the communal conversations reflecting on societal injustices faced by the poor. As Mari navigates her duties, her thoughts turn to the future of her children, revealing her deep concerns about their well-being in a harsh world that appears unforgiving towards the impoverished.
