The Sheep Eaters (or The Lamb Eaters; Finnish: Lampaansyöjät) is a humorous Finnish novel written by Veikko Huovinen in 1970, also entitled “Finnish Travel Story”. It tells the story of two men, Sepe and Valtteri, who embark on a rather special car trip in August. The intention is to hunt sheep, although towards the end of the book they get enough sheep meat and otherwise only camp, also in neighboring countries. That page reflects on the way the world is going, and in fact the events only serve as a framework for the essential content of the book, that is, the discussions of “male people” marked by the humor typical of Huovinen, which mixes the boundaries of folk and high culture.

  • The Sheep Eaters (or The Lamb Eaters; Finnish: Lampaansyöjät) is a humorous Finnish novel written by Veikko Huovinen in 1970, also entitled “Finnish Travel Story”. It tells the story of two men, Sepe and Valtteri, who embark on a rather special car trip in August. The intention is to hunt sheep, although towards the end of the book they get enough sheep meat and otherwise only camp, also in neighboring countries. That page reflects on the way the world is going, and in fact the events only serve as a framework for the essential content of the book, that is, the discussions of “male people” marked by the humor typical of Huovinen, which mixes the boundaries of folk and high culture. The book was also made into a film by the same name directed by Seppo Huunonen in 1972, starring Leo Lastumäki (Valtteri) and Heikki Kinnunen (Sepe). According to Leo Lastumäki, after the film there were cases where a model of Sepe and Valtteri's sheep hunting had actually been taken. The film was a success, it got viewers more than all the other domestic films of the year combined. The Sheep Eaters play was seen in 2006 at the Pyynikki Summer Theatre in Tampere, starring Kai Lehtinen and Antti Raivio. The novel made famous rosvopaisti (Finnish lit. “robber’s roast”) that Sepe and Valtteri made from their prey. (en)
