| Summary | "Suuri rikos" by Kössi Kaatra is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story explores class struggle during Finland's civil war, focusing on the life of Kulmala, a working-class man caught in the midst of the conflict. Themes of poverty, societal inequities, and the psychological toll of war are evident as Kulmala navigates the harsh realities faced by the proletariat. The opening of the book introduces the dire conditions in Kulmala's environment, where hunger and darkness plague the lives of the working class. The narrative portrays Kulmala's internal conflict regarding the looming class warfare and his unwillingness to engage in violence. As the story unfolds, it reveals his wife's urging for him to partake in the fighting, juxtaposed against his hesitance. Ultimately, Kulmala grapples with feelings of inadequacy and daunting decisions, hinting at the struggle he faces against socioeconomic pressures and personal dilemmas amid the chaos of war.
