About This Book

A travel-based account of northeastern Finland during a severe harvest year that records vivid scenes of hunger, the movement of starving families, and the difficulties of travel between remote parishes. It combines on-the-ground reportage of living conditions, notes on local industries such as tar burning, comparisons with earlier famines and border-area observations, and concluding reflections on longer-term causes and remedial measures.
