Description
Kalevala is the soaring epic poem of Finland's 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 L©œnnrot 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. It has themes that reach beyond borders and search the heart of human existence.
Language
Translated from the Finnish.
