Aatami Rymättylä has spent years developing an ultralight accumulator at his battery service centre in Tattarisuo. He is convinced that his soon-to-be-completed invention will revolutionise the global energy economy. Despite threats from the bailiffs and the financial burden of taxes, debts and his divorce, Aatami remains optimistic – until his factory erupts in flames and his meagre assets are burnt to a crisp.

Although all appears to be lost, Eeva Kontupohja – an enterprising yet heavy-drinking lawyer – has the faith to invest in Aatami, both as an inventor and as a man. And so begins an unparalleled tale of survival against all odds, as Aatami and Eeva bring the business world to its knees. Although Aatami becomes filthy rich, he doesn’t let success go to his head. He skilfully handles both his business and personal relations in the manner deserved – the bailiffs included. But will this definitive answer to the energy question really lead to utopia?

The rights to Adam and Eve have been sold to Latvia, Germany and Sweden. This cheerful, optimistic tale will offer today’s European readers plenty of highly entertaining observations on their life and times.
