Kun metsä kuolee: Kertomuksia Norrlannista

A series of linked tales set in sparsely settled northern woodlands portrays how industrial logging and money-driven change hollow out traditional rural life. Individual stories follow families and neighbors — smallholders, foresters, and mill men — as poverty, illness, personal tragedy, and madness intersect with the loss of forest, vanished customs, and the departure of supernatural presences once thought to dwell in the woods. Recurring motifs include generational bonds to the land, conflicts with timber companies and speculators, and mourning for communal joy and cultural memory, rendered through quiet domestic scenes and stark encounters with hardship.
