In order to find the finnish writer, Aleksis Kivi, I looked for the word

class 2^ D Francesca

Aleksis Kivi
Lived 1834-1872. He was born at Nurmijarvi. Her family's surname was Stenvall, Aleksis translate her name "Kivi". He died at newyear night. Eino Leino (another finnish writer) tell about Aleksis short and miserable life.He last words were "Mina elan" (I will live). He write books what tell about future life. Like a Seitseman veljesta (seven brothers) it is a book writed with other way, that times style is embellishing and perfect, but there were a humour, fights, drinking and the romance in Seitseman veljesta. Now Seitseman veljesta is one of the famous book in Finland. In past Aleksis wasn't understood writer but in this day Finland he is our national writer.
