Juha

Hailed as one of Juhani Aho's most iconic works, Juha cemented his reputation as Finland's "national writer." This timeless novel masterfully weaves classical storytelling with modern sensibilities. Set in Swedish Finland, it explores the life of Juha and his restless wife, whose discontent sets the stage for a dramatic upheaval when a mysterious stranger enters their lives. Rich in emotional depth and epic in scope, Juha is a gripping tale of love, betrayal, and the human spirit by a twelve-time Nobel Prize nominee. It has been adapted for film four times - notably by Aki Kaurismäki in 1999.
