Wikipedia description:
Aleksis Kivi (Finnish pronunciation: [ˈɑleksis ˈkiʋi] ; born Alexis Stenvall; 10 October 1834 – 31 December 1872) was a Finnish writer who wrote the first significant novel in the Finnish language, Seitsemän veljestä (Seven Brothers), published in 1870. He is also known for his 1864 play, Nummisuutarit (Heath Cobblers). Although Kivi was among the very earliest writers of prose and lyrics in Finnish, he is still considered one of the greatest, who has compared to "the Finnish equivalent of Goethe, Dickens and Twain" by the English translator Douglas Robinson. Kivi is regarded as the national writer of Finland and his birthday, 10 October, is celebrated as Finnish Literature Day.
