''Under the North Star'' is an epic novel trilogy by Finnish author Väinö Linna. Published between 1959 and 1962, the three books follow the life of a Finnish farmer family from the 1880s all the way to the early 1950s. By following the life of the Koskela family and the other inhabitants of their home village, the trilogy describes all the major turning points of Finland's history in that time period. Those include the language strife between Finnish- and Swedish-minded people, the Finnish Civil War of 1918 fought between the reds and the whites, and the Second World War.
The first book spans a period from the 1880s to the 1910s, while the second book focuses on the late 1910s, especially the Civil War. The final installment covers the period from the early 1920s to about 1950.
The trilogy shares one main character with Linna's other major work ''The Unknown Soldier'', so it is set in the same universe.
