"Rautakorko: Vallankumousromaani" by Jack London is a novel written in the early 20th century.

This book delves into the socio-political dynamics of the time, reflecting on the challenges faced by the working class against a tyrannical oligarchy. At the start of the novel, Avis Everhard reflects on the turmoil surrounding her husband, Ernest Everhard, a revolutionary thinker actively involved in the struggle for workers' rights. The peaceful summer setting contrasts with her inner turmoil, hinting at the impending storm of revolution.
