Sulikki: Kertomus pakanuuden viime ajoilta Hämeessä by Johan Albert Bergman
"Sulikki: Kertomus pakanuuden viime ajoilta Hämeessä" by Johan Albert Bergman is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative unfolds in 1238, against the backdrop of a Finland still overshadowed by pagan beliefs, as the encroachment of Christianity struggles to gain a foothold. The story revolves around the lives of various characters, including Tarmo, a local elder, Kammo, a sorcerer, and Sulikki, the beautiful daughter of Kammo, as they
navigate their intertwined fates amidst cultural and religious conflicts. The opening of the novel introduces a gathering of local pagans along the southwestern Finnish coast, who are fishing and eagerly awaiting trading ships despite papal bans on commerce with non-Christians. Tarmo and Kammo engage in discussions about the looming influence of Christianity and their concerns about the local bishop's actions. Their conversation is interrupted by the arrival of another group of visitors from the eastern regions, including Tiera and his son Sarmi, indicating ongoing interactions between pagan and Christian communities. Characters like Sulikki, Tarmo’s daughter and a spirited figure among the gathering, capture the tension between traditional beliefs and the emerging new faith, setting the stage for the unfolding drama in their lives.
