The flags
are flying again today. Traditionally on October 10 is celebrated as the Day of
Finnish literature.
Today the Finns honor their National writer
Aleksis Kivi who would turn 199 today. Kivi is most famous for his book “Seitsemän
veljestä” (The Seven Brothers) which was the first significant novel ever
written in Finnish language.
