"Kolmimasto 'Tulevaisuus' eli elämää Pohjolassa" by Jonas Lie is a fictional novel written in the early 20th century. The book centers around the tragic events of a shipwreck and explores the lives of individuals affected by this calamity, particularly focusing on themes of survival and humanity in harsh northern conditions. At the start of the story, a three-masted ship named "Tulevaisuus" meets a terrible fate during a storm in 1807, sinking off the coast of Norway. As the ship’s crew struggles for survival, a young woman, the captain’s wife, remains trapped aboard, attempting to save her child. Meanwhile, a local Laplander named Iisko discovers the wreckage and is faced with a moral dilemma regarding the survivor’s fate. Torn between opportunism and compassion, Iisko ultimately chooses to rescue the child, setting off a chain of events that will intertwine the lives of all the characters involved, introducing a rich tapestry of human emotions against the backdrop of nature’s unforgiving elements.
