This is the first major literary work from one of the progenitors of Finnish literature. In contrast to our high-tech, fast-paced lifestyle, in The Railroad, 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.
