Born of an ancient tradition of folklore and song, \u003ci\u003eKalevala\u003c\/i\u003e is a work rich in magic, cosmic mystery and myth, presenting a story of a people 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 it played a vital role in galvanizing Finland's national identity in the decades leading up to independence. And yet its tales of tragedy and triumph, adventure and ambition, hope, lust, death and birth, reach far beyond the region's borders, searching the heart of human existence.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eElias Lot\u003c\/b\u003e (1802-1884) was a Finnish physician, philologist, and collector of traditional Finnish oral poetry. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eEino Friberg\u003c\/b\u003e (1901-995) was a Finnish-born American author, noted for his 1989 translation the \u003ci\u003eKalevala\u003c\/i\u003e.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 640\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.2 x 7.9 x 5.2 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 01, 2021\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44317301211238,"sku":"9780241403068","price":27.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0599\/7255\/0758\/files\/dkRhNDJqN2ZBamczNzFpcisxdUlWQT09.webp?v=1768035054","url":"https:\/\/infinitylightwa.com\/products\/kalevala-the-epic-of-the-finnish-people-paperback","provider":"Infinity Light","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
