520			_a"Manasse Jäppinen" by Maiju Lassila is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the titular character, Manasse Jäppinen, a young boy described as both notoriously stubborn and intellectually challenged, caught in the traditions of his family and his community. As he begins to confront the necessity of education and the burden of literacy imposed upon him by his well-meaning mother and father, the narrative explores themes of resistance to authority, familial expectations, and the tensions between tradition and modernity. At the start of the novel, we meet the seven-year-old Manasse, who is depicted as a spirited and defiant child living in a remote village in Finland. His mother, Anni Doroteea, takes it upon herself to teach him how to read, but Manasse vehemently resists her efforts, preferring the carefree life outside his home, particularly indulging in activities with his friends and trying to avoid school at all costs. The opening sets the tone for his inner struggle against the pressures to conform and the expectations placed upon him by both his parents and society, foreshadowing the tumultuous journey of self-discovery and rebellion that lies ahead for this reluctant learner.
