Summary "Kotiinpaluu ja muita novelleja" by Runar Schildt is a collection of short stories written in the early 20th century. The narratives explore various aspects of life through the eyes of different characters, often reflecting on themes of youth, social class, and the poignancy of human experiences. One of the central figures introduced in the opening story, "Aapo," is the fourteen-year-old son of a farmer, who observes the contrasting lives of the wealthy and the working class around him. The opening of the book presents a sunny July day in Velkkala, where Aapo stands in the garden, curious about the festivities surrounding his employer's son Magnus's birthday. As he witnesses the children's excitement over a peculiar birthday gift—a donkey named Jolly Boy—Aapo grapples with his feelings of envy and bemusement at the lavishness of life among the gentry. While the children delight in their new toy, Aapo remains introspective, pondering the disparities between their carefree existence and his own more pragmatic views shaped by hard work and responsibility on the farm. Through this lens, the story sets the stage for a deeper examination of character emotions and social dynamics that are likely to unfold in the subsequent tales.
