Today, change in our material lives is a constant. Many now living
have seen the advent not only of the mobile phone and the Internet,
but also of space exploration, vaccines and even indoor plumbing.
This in contrast to the world you now enter in The Railroad, where
the diminutive Matti and Liisa are aging in a corner of the world
in which peasant life has remained unaltered for centuries. When
the iron rails reach the forests of Eastern Finland, however, that
solitude and constancy are forever altered. The Railroad (1884) was
prose writer, poet, translator and journalist Juhani Aho's first
major literary work. There is some disagreement as to whether he or
Aleksis Kivi (best known for his 1870 novel Seven Brothers) should
be named the first professional Finnish author. There is no doubt,
however, that Aho's modern usage of the Finnish language and
application of realistic style - although romantic elements also
appear in The Railroad - place him as one of the progenitors of
Finnish literature, which has been closely identified with realism
ever since. In both his topics and his style we witness a critical
stage in the cultural development of what is now one of the most
advanced nations in the world.
