Summary "Nälkävuodet 1860-luvulla" by A. Meurman is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book focuses on the severe famine that struck Finland during the 1860s, particularly in the year 1867, documenting the economic struggles, government responses, and the resilience of the Finnish people during this hardship. The opening of this work sets a somber tone, reflecting on the deep scars the famine left on the collective memory of those who lived through it. Meurman discusses the agricultural conditions leading up to the famine, emphasizes the government's inadequate responses, and critiques the disconnect between the ruling elite and the struggling populace. The narrative serves as a reminder of the societal impacts of the famine, exploring the ways people coped with despair, sought aid, and the changing perceptions of both government responsibilities and individual resilience during a time of extreme crisis.
