Taistelujen mainingeissa : Runokokoelma entistä j uutta by Severi Nuormaa

"Taistelujen mainingeissa : Runokokoelma entistä j uutta by Severi Nuormaa" is a collection of poetry written in the early 20th century. The book gathers patriotic, historical, and philosophical poems that wrestle with justice, freedom, faith, and the fate of Finland under oppression. The poems range from portraits of historical and biblical figures to scenes of Finnish life and landscapes. Revolutionary and martyr voices speak through Andreas Hofer, Simson, Giordano Bruno, Lukanus, Sokrates, and Bertran de Born, while national pieces lament tyranny and call for courage, law, and common purpose. Lyrics of seasons, sea, and northern lights frame meditations on God and conscience, social critiques of wealth and power, and rallying cries such as “Nyt valitkaa!” There are tender interludes—Christmas songs, a child beneath a rowan, memories of a humble cottage—and a Budapest diary sketch tied to Petőfi’s legacy. Later poems brood over justice and disillusionment yet keep hope alive, and the book closes with tributes to Topelius and Juhani Aho, binding private feeling to a public plea for a freer, nobler nation.
