Päiväperhoja : Pieniä tarinoita

A modest collection of Finnish tales unfurls a vivid tapestry of village life, folklore and quiet introspection. The opening story follows an enigmatic old witch who guards ancient spells passed down through generations, her secret knowledge coveted by a earnest young scholar turned pastor. Their uneasy dialogue explores faith, duty and the weight of hidden wisdom, while the witch’s final breath releases a haunting legacy that lingers in scholarly circles for years.

The remaining pieces wander through a restless cast of characters—a weary marquis haunted by war’s echoes, a mischievous trickster, and a poet wrestling with truth and illusion—each vignette offering a glimpse into early twentieth‑century Finland’s cultural pulse. Themes of love, ambition, and the tension between tradition and modernity ripple beneath the surface, inviting listeners to linger on the delicate balance between myth and everyday reality.
