Vihtori Lähde

Vihtori Lähde was a Finnish writer whose life dates are commonly given as 1867–1922. Public-domain library records and Project Gutenberg listings confirm those dates and show at least two works available today: the novel Alfrida and the play Kohtaus kuntakokouksessa.

The surviving descriptions of his work point to a writer interested in ordinary people and the forces around them. Alfrida centers on love, despair, and social judgment, while Kohtaus kuntakokouksessa is set around a rural municipal meeting and local debate, suggesting an eye for both personal feeling and community life.

Reliable biographical detail about Lähde himself is hard to find in the sources I could confirm, so this overview stays close to the record that is clearly available online: a Finnish author remembered mainly through these preserved works.
