 Finnish Literature Catalog
A true classic novel in Finnish literature, Juha was written by Juhani Aho, the uncontested grand old man of Finnish Literature at the turn of the 20th century.
Juhani Aho was a member of the turn-of-the-century Young Finland (Nuori Suomi) circle of artists that included artist Akseli Gallén-Kallela and composer Jean Sibelius.
The writing styles display a great variety: from Aleksis Kivi's romanticism to Timo Mukka's stark realism, from Juhani Aho's nationalistic portraits to Veijo Meri's globally universal absurdist stories, from the social realism of Minna Canth to the humor of Veikko Huovinen and from comtemplative Toivo Pekkanen to symbolist Juha Mannerkorpi.

Some have dubbed Aho's literary endeavor as his greatest "masterpiece." In fact, beginning in 1919, filmmakers have been so inspired by his writing that four different films focusing on this story have been created.
As with many works of fiction, the reader is given no specification as to the exact location of the story, or the year, but only that the events take place in a northern area somewhere between Finland and Russia.
Experts who have studied Aho's writing suggest that he generally chose his subjects from Finnish folk life, thus adding even more credibility and realism to this story.
