 Advanced Audio Blog S2 #25 - Top 10 Finnish Writers: Juhani Aho | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 2:48

Don't forget to stop by FinnishPod101.com for more great Finnish Language Learning Resources! -------Lesson Dialog------- ----Formal ---- Juhani Aho Juhani Aho syntyi Johannes Brofeldtin nimisenä Lapinlahdella. Hän oli ensimmäinen suomeksi kirjoittanut ammattikirjailija, ja jo omana aikanaan hän oli tunnetuin suomalainen kirjailija Skandinaviassa. Hänen erikoisalaansa olivat novellit, jotka tunnetaan erityisesti nimellä "lastut". Niiden tarkoituksena oli kuvata vain pientä osa suurempaa kokonaisuutta, kuten kappaletta jokapäiväistä elämää tai jotakin monimutkaisempaa poliittisten allegorioiden muodossa. Kriitikot huomasivat, että Ahon tyyli vaihteli suuresti ajan kuluessa, ja että hänen novellinsa edustivat monia kirjallisia liikkeitä. Hänen ensimmäinen romaaninsa, Rautatie, on erinomainen esimerkki siitä, kuinka realismi raivasi tiensä Ahon aikaiseen kirjallisuuteen. Hänen myöhempi tuotantonsa oli taipunut enemmän uusromantiikan suuntaan. Rautatietä pidetään hänen ensimmäisenä suurena teoksenaan. Se saavutti nopeasti suuren suosion, ja siitä tuli aikansa kolmanneksi myydyin romaani Suomessa. Vain eepoksia Kalevala ja Vänrikki Stoolin tarinat myytiin sitä enemmän. Hänen romaaninsa, Yksin, oli hyvin kiistelty. Se oli roman a clef, tai "avainromaani". Kirja oli todellinen taideteos, sillä se kuvasi todellista elämää, joka oli kuorrutettu kerroksella fiktiota. Itse asiassa se oli omaelämäkerrallinen tarina, joka kuvasi Ahon rakkautta Aino Järnefeltiin, joka oli kihloissa ja joka lopulta meni naimisiin toisen miehen kanssa. Lopulta Ahosta ja Järnefeltin aviomiehestä tuli erittäin hyvät ystävät, ja he asuivat naapureina. Toinen merkittävä Ahon teos oli tarina nimeltä "Siihen aikaan kun isälampun osti," jota suomalaiset vielä nykyäänkin käyttävät viitteenä puhuessaan jostain uudesta markkinoille tulevasta teknologiasta. ----Formal English---- Juhani Aho Juhani Aho was born Johannes Brofeldt in Lapinlahti. He was the first professional writer of Finnish nationality, and in his time, he was the most well-known Finnish author in all of Scandinavia. His specialization was short stories, specifically those known as "splinters," which were meant to portray just a small piece of something, which could range from a slice of daily life to something a bit more complicated in the form of a political allegory. Critics note that Aho's style varied widely as time went on, and his stories showcased various literary movements. His first novel Railroad is a prime example of how realism made its way into literature of his day. His later works tended more toward neo-romanticism. Railroad is considered to be his first major work, and it rose to popularity quickly, becoming the third best-selling novel in Finland at that time. Only the epics Kalevala and The Tales of Ensign Stal were ahead of it in sales. His book Alone was very controversial and was a roman a clef, or "novel with a key." The book was a true piece of art because of how it portrayed real life with a layer of fiction over top of it. It was actually an autobiographical story depicting Aho's love for Aino Jarnefelt, who was engaged to and eventually married another man. Eventually Aho and Jarnefelt's husband became very good friends and actually lived next door to each other. Another one of Aho's important works was the story "When Father Brought Home the Lamp," which today is still used as a reference when Finns are talking about some kind of new technology being introduced to the world. --------------------------- Learn Finnish with FinnishPod101!

Sinä olet varmaankin Heikki? Heikki: Kyllä vain, ja kiitos. Asunto-esittelijä: Tämä asuntohan on tällä hetkellä kolmio, mutta jos haluatte purkaa tuon väliseinän ja tehdä tästä kaksion, niin se on ihan ok. Heikki: Ahaa, se on hyvä tietää. Voisimme kyllä hieman remontoida täällä. Asunto-esittelijä: Se sopii. Taloyhtiö on kuitenkin teettämässä putkiremontin kahden vuoden päästä, ottakaa se huomioon. Heikki: Selvä. Milloin tämä talo on rakennettu? Asunto-esittelijä: Vuonna 1932(tuhatyhdeksänsataakolmekymmentäkaksi). Putkiremontti on tehty viimeksi vuonna 1977(tuhatyhdeksänsataaseitsemänkymmentäseitsemän), jolloin rakennettiin myös hissi. Heikki: Voimmeko harrastaa täällä musiikkia? Asunto-esittelijä: No, kohtuudella voi. Oletteko muusikko? Heikki: En toki, mutta vaimoni haluaa laulaa silloin tällöin. Minä säestän häntä pianolla. Asunto-esittelijä: Sehän on hienoa! ----Formal English---- Estate Agent: Welcome to the housing display! You must be Heikki? Heikki: Oh yes, and thank you. Estate Agent: So this apartment is currently a three-room apartment, but if you want to tear down that partition wall and make this into a two-room apartment, that is quite all right. Heikki: Okay, that's good to know. We could renovate here a little bit. Estate Agent: That's ok. However, the housing association will have the plumbing re-done in two years, so please take that into consideration. Heikki: Right. When was this house built? Estate Agent: In 1932. The last time the plumbing was re-done was in 1977, when they also built the elevator. Heikki: Can we practice music here? Estate Agent: Well, in moderation you can. Are you a musician? Heikki: Oh no, but my wife wants to sing occasionally. I accompany her on piano. Estate Agent: Oh that's great! --------------------------- Learn Finnish with FinnishPod101!
