Juhani Aho (1861/1921), war ein finnischer Schriftsteller und Journalist. Aho schöpfte seine Themen aus dem finnischen Volksleben und wurde gerade damit zum Wegbereiter des modernen finnischen Realismus. Ausdem Buch "Geächtet": "Wenn er gegessen hat und sich nach seinen Begleitern umsieht, findet er den Hut flott auf einem Baumstumpf hinter sich sitzend und die Pfeife daneben in einen Spalt gesteckt, so, als ob der Stumpf raucht. Dies erregt allgemeinen Jubel, und selbst der Bauer kann sich eines Schmunzelns nicht enthalten. Ohne ein Wort zu sprechen, nimmt Junnu seinen Hut und seine Pfeife und fragt dann nach seinem Tabaksbeutel, der ihm ebenfalls abhanden gekommen ist... " Aus dem Buch "Einsam": "Das Abendessen war beendet, man saß im Salon, und die Uhr ging auf zwölf. Man war den ganzen Abend einsilbig gewesen, und was gesagt wurde, war ohne Inhalt. Die Unterhaltung war mehr und mehr versiegt und drohte, ganz ins Stocken zu geraten. Wenn das Rollen einer auf der Straße vorüberfahrenden Droschke, das auf Minuten die Stille unterbrochen hatte, in der Ferne erklang, hörte man nichts mehr als den wehmütig singenden Ton der Lampenflamme..." Aus dem Buch "Schweres Blut": "Ein Mann - langrückig, in hedeleinenem Hemd und groben Rindenschuhen - fällt Bäume zum Schwenden auf dem Abhang eines hohen Hügels. Wenn die eine Birke niedersinkt, erbebt schon das Laub der anderen, und die Späne fliegen umher. Er haut Stämme um so dick wie sein Schenkel, wie wenn er Weidengestrüpp lichtete, ohne den Rücken zu strecken..."

The publication of this book in 1893 marked the first time that a translation into English had occurred from modern Finnish literature. These four deeply contrasting pieces from the pen of Juhani Aho, one of the founding fathers of that new national consciousness, are remarkable in their combination of rustic settings and strange psychological subtlety. The title-piece is both harrowing and humorous. Squire Hellman is an angry fiend of a man, bellowing constantly at his wife and servants, as well as all local dignitaries, and whipping his horses in a frenzy if he gets frustrated. One day, at a taxation court, he impatiently lets loose one too many times! The bailiff and a local captain decide that it's time he paid for his social crimes, and devise a cunning way to force him to recant. The other three pieces are sketches of rural life, delineating with unusual intensity psychological situations where it is the characters' mindset which creates the drama: When Father Brought Home the Lamp about the coming of technology and the modern age; Pioneers about how heartbreakingly Finland's wilds were settled; and Loyal about young love and the resisting of temptation. Juhani Aho wrote many of these subtle and revealing shorter pieces, giving them a name and category of their own - splinters. This edition includes the original introduction by the translator, R. Nisbet Bain, which not only introduces the author, but also gives a fascinating summary of Finnish literature as it stood at the fin de siècle.
