| Summary |
"Sissisotien ajoilta" by O. Relander is a historical account written in the early 20th century." The narrative centers around two brothers, Antti and Olli, orphaned after their father's death during the tumultuous times of war that has ravaged their home. Faced with the destruction of their family home and the need to find a new place to live, they embark on a journey with a family friend, Yrjö Vornanen, to establish a new life in the wilderness of Ahmavaara, where they plan to build a new home and live off the land amidst the ongoing conflicts. "The opening of the book introduces us to a tragic scene where brothers Antti and Olli lament their lost home after it has been burned down in a raid." Their despair leads to the decision to leave the ruins and seek a new existence in the uncharted wilderness, accompanied by Yrjö, an experienced woodsman and friend of their late father. As they prepare for their journey, the narrative sets the stage for their arduous adventure filled with trials, survival, and the determination to reclaim a sense of home amidst the chaos of conflict and displacement. The reader gets a glimpse of the challenges ahead, including the harsh realities of living in the wilderness and the ever-present threat of their enemies.
