| Summary | "Kohtalon tuulissa : Nykyajan romaani" by Toivo Tarvas is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book introduces the protagonist, Janne Pöyhtäri, a young man who works as a cab driver in Helsinki, reflecting on his past experiences and the hardships faced by people around him. Through Janne's eyes, the narrative likely explores themes of struggle, personal transformation, and societal observations amid the changing landscape of urban life. The opening of the novel sets a somber and contemplative mood as Janne waits at an evening cab stand. He is depicted as a tall, robust man with a sensitive and almost childlike demeanor. As he listens to his fellow drivers, he reminisces about his rural childhood, contrasting it with the dreary city life he currently endures. Memories of his family, especially his struggles with his alcoholic father and the challenges faced during their migration to the city, haunt his thoughts. A sense of fatigue and disillusionment surrounds him as he prepares to leave behind his profession after three long years, signaling a pivotal moment in his life as he anticipates new beginnings.
