"Elina: Murroskauden kertomus" is an epic poem by the Finnish poet Eino Leino, which tells the story of a young girl, Elina, who has gone through a difficult period of transition into adulthood. Through feelings of loneliness, love, loss and hope, Elina goes through trials that shape her soul. Thanks to the poetic language and the deep inner world of the heroine, Leino's book becomes not only a story about one specific girl, but also a reflection of the general themes of growing up and self-discovery. Lyrical beauty and philosophical depth have made this book a classic of Finnish literature, and the themes raised will be relevant for readers at all times."
