520 _a"Lintukoto" by Joel Lehtonen is a collection of diary entries written in the early 20th century. It is a lyrical, gently humorous meditation on solitude and nature, following a first‑person narrator who treats his tiny lakeside island retreat as a beloved companion while sharing domestic scenes with his wife. The pieces dwell on the pleasures of simple work, the struggle to shut out modern noise, and the rapturous smallness of summer’s details. The opening of the work traces the narrator’s spring return to his “Birdland,” first comparing their reunion to an awkward meeting with an old lover before affection rekindles as the landscape greens. He recounts a comic‑grim episode of wintertime devastation by rats—imagined as summoned by a Pied Piper—that shredded linens, emptied a flour sack from a rafter, gnawed paper lanterns, and left a few dead in a vat. He then sketches the island’s setting and lore, remembers the solitary fisherman who owned it before dying in the sauna, and explains how he remade the place as a quiet “monastery” of his own: few newspapers, much reading and reflection, planting fruit trees, building paths, and seeking peace. After weeks of cold winds he dreams of a sprite named Krik and a “wind harmony,” wakes elated, and steps outside to find summer at last—apple trees in dazzling bloom, fresh green leaves shining with rain, and a chorus of birdsong filling the yard.
