Summary "Pekka Sallinen: Kertomus 1808-9 v. sodasta" by Kustavi Nordlund is a historical account written in the late 19th century." The book recounts the events surrounding the Finnish War of 1808-1809, focusing on the struggles of the Finnish people, particularly the character Pekka Sallinen, who embodies their fight against Russian forces. Through his experiences, the narrative explores themes of loyalty, courage, and the personal costs of war. "At the start of the narrative, the reader is introduced to the context of the war, highlighting the resistance of the Karjalaiset people who take up arms to defend their homeland against invading Russians." The opening presents various characters, including Mikko Eronen, a strong farmer, and his family as they confront the threat of approaching Russian soldiers. Tensions mount as the Russians invade their home, leading to fierce encounters and desperate measures by Mikko and his family to protect their lives and home. The emotional turmoil and bravery displayed during these initial conflicts set the stage for the larger battles and struggles that are to come, intertwining personal stories with the broader narrative of Finnish resistance.
