Book Description
'One of the great mythic poems of Europe' The New York Times Sharing its title with the poetic name for Finland - 'the land of heroes' - Kalevala is the soaring epic poem of its people, a work rich in magic and myth which tells the story of a nation through the ages from the dawn of creation. Sung by rural Finns since prehistoric times, and formally compiled by Elias Lönnrot in the nineteenth century, it is a landmark of Finnish culture and played a vital role in galvanizing its national identity in the decades leading to independence. Its themes, however, reach beyond borders and search the heart of human existence. Translated with an Introduction by Eino Friberg

They are thought to be composed of minor poems, which, already in existence, were put together either all at once by one man or successively by several until the final collector appeared. And this putting together is imagined to be a simple stitching without any welding of the parts; so that the critical philologist can, by means of his special acumen, and of instruments and standards all his own, easily succeed in putting his finger on the joints and separating out the.
