Kallilan talo : Kaksinäytöksinen huvinäytelmä by Eva Hirn
"Kallilan talo : Kaksinäytöksinen huvinäytelmä by Eva Hirn" is a two‑act stage comedy written in the early 20th century. It playfully explores life on a Finnish farm where urban ideals, romantic dreams, and scientific theories collide with the demands of practical agriculture, household management, and community values. Antti and Elina have traded city life for their farm, Kallila, but the work goes awry under a blundering professor’s advice and a poetic trainee,
Eero. Their agronomist son Oras and his capable wife Sylvia arrive, introduce order, machines, and sensible housekeeping, and transform the homestead. Eero and the daughter Lilja fall in love; he chooses schoolteaching over farming, channeling his idealism into the village children. The housekeeper Hilma briefly imagines herself engaged to the professor before he flees, and she happily pairs with the foreman Ilmari instead. Two years later the farm thrives: fields are productive, the home is practical and neat, and the family’s example lifts the whole community. The comedy celebrates knowledge put to use, cooperative work, and a warm, hopeful rural patriotism. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
