| Summary, etc. | "Hyvästi Porvoo -- morjens Kalkutta!" by Sulo-Weikko Pekkola is a humorous travelogue written in the early 20th century. It follows a Finnish narrator who, with his wife and occasional companions, leaves Porvoo for an open-ended journey toward the East, observing Europe with a sharp, playful eye. The focus is on everyday scenes, bureaucracy, transport, city life, and popular entertainments, delivered with satirical warmth and curiosity. Readers can expect brisk vignettes from capitals and ports, irreverent commentary, and a lively sense of modern travel’s pleasures and absurdities. The opening of the travelogue shows the narrator seizing a sudden chance to leave Porvoo, rushing through passport and visa chores (and regretting reliance on a travel agency), then plunging into Paris. He skewers the stock exchange, admires the courteous police and fearless traffic, notes cheap taxis and noisy street manners, and discovers that Parisian chic is less demanding than myths suggest (after a comically fraught barber visit and musings on makeup). Sightseeing ranges from Easter services and Invalides to the Unknown Soldier and the Eiffel Tower, plus a dawn immersion in Les Halles, with snapshots of cafés, street displays, and strict midday closures. A foray into nightlife veers from an awkward “Ladies Club” visit to Folies Bergère’s spectacle and Grand Guignol’s gruesome theatrics. A chapter on “modern conveniences” compares public toilets from France to Turkey, capped by a comic train scene during Muslim prayer. In Marseilles he paints a rougher, Mediterranean city with striking street tableaux and funeral customs, then moves on to Monte Carlo’s hushed casino rooms, profiling gambler types, system play, and even alleged dealer tricks. The section closes with plans for a budget-friendly day excursion by car into the Alps from the Riviera. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
