Korpi nousee : Yksinäytöksinen näytelmä by Kaarle Halme
"Korpi nousee : Yksinäytöksinen näytelmä by Kaarle Halme" is a one-act play written in the early 20th century. Part of a cycle about Finnish progress societies, it is set in a rural community in the late 19th century and centers on the rise of a youth association that channels restless young energy into constructive civic life, while touching on themes of renewal and return. The action unfolds in Suokorpi’s farmhouse, where the
elder Simuna and his daughter Elina discuss local temperance meetings, unruly factory youth, and donating timber for a common meeting house. During a gathering in their great room, a band of youths led by Antti barges in with noise until Lyyli pointedly slaps him, provoking laughter; an unknown man then calms the room and urges the founding of a youth society to give the young meaningful work. He later visits Elina and is revealed as Mikko, her long-lost beloved who disappeared after prison; he stayed away to reform himself and now returns, steady and changed. Their quiet reconciliation coincides with communal resolve: Simuna pledges logs for a hall, the youngsters embrace the new association, and the play closes in a spirit of uplift as the “wilderness” rises.
