Amurinmaan retki : suomalainen kommunismin koe by F. H. B. Lagus
"Amurinmaan retki : suomalainen kommunismin koe" by F. H. B. Lagus is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work documents the experiences of Finnish emigrants who, motivated by adventure and the promise of fertile land, formed a collective expedition to settle in the Eastern Asia region, specifically near the Amur River in Manchuria. The narrative explores the challenges and aspirations of these individuals as they attempted to implement
communist principles in their new settlement. The opening of this book introduces readers to the context of the emigration, detailing the hardships faced by Finns in their homeland, such as famine and economic troubles. It outlines the formation of a company of settlers in 1868 who sought success in agricultural activities and whale hunting. The beginning features rich descriptions of the characters involved, including captain Fridolf Höök and various skilled tradesmen, and elaborates on their motivations and the preparation for their long and arduous journey. It sets the stage for a tale of hope, determination, and the interplay of ideals in a distant land, emphasizing the collectivist spirit that bound the members of the expedition together.
