About the author
Born in Kangasala, Finland, on November 19, 1878, Jukka Pohjola was known as a smallholder, journalist, politician, poet, and playwright. He became active in public life during a period of major political change in Finland, and his writing grew out of that same world of civic discussion and social reform.
He served as a member of the Parliament of Finland from 1909 to 1913 and again from 1916 to 1917, representing the Social Democratic Party. Alongside politics, he wrote literary works including poetry and plays, and he is associated with a body of work preserved in Finnish library records and Project Gutenberg.
Pohjola died on November 8, 1948. Today he is remembered as a figure who linked literature, journalism, and politics in early 20th-century Finland, with writing that reflects the concerns and ideals of his era.
