Stand point of one who has made his home in Finland, and the writer hopes that what he may have lost in the freshness of first impressions may prove to be more than counterbalanced by increased intimacy with the land and people described. As Finland, in spite of the excellent books that have been written by thoughtful and observant travellers, is still but little known, it has seemed best to concentrate attention on the leading features of Finnish life, and not to go too much into details which, in the absence of a conception of the country as a whole, might easily prove wearisome or confusing. The general ignorance of Finland has also made a small amount of repetition unavoidable, as it has been necessary to summarize in the Introduction matters which are treated at greater length in subsequent chapters.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a lively and detailed exploration of Finnish identity and history. The author, who has made Finland his home, writes with expertise and sensitivity about Finnish culture and traditions. The main subjects of the book concern the linguistic and social challenges and triumphs faced as Finland developed a distinct national identity for itself while under Russian rule. The book places itself within a thorough historical context, looking back to the very beginning of Finnish independence. The depth of the book is found in the exploration of how Finnish identity has grown and changed over time and how that young sense of identity was molded and shaped by circumstances. The way in which the author vividly captures the essence of Finnish culture leaves the reader with an unforgettable impression of Finnish society. It is a book that sheds light on some important historical aspects of Finnish history that have had long-lasting effects on Finnish identity. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N� de r�f. du vendeur 9781330445792_0
