Résumé

The "Kalevala: The Epic Poem of Finland" is a monumental compilation of Finnish folklore, meticulously assembled by Elias Lönnrot in the 19th century. This epic poem, structured into 50 cantos, intricately weaves together a tapestry of myth, heroism, and the human experience, rich with lyricism and rhythmic cadences typical of oral traditions. Lönnrot's innovative adaptation of various fragmented oral stories presents a deeper cultural identity, reflecting the struggle between nature and mankind, the quest for knowledge, and the intertwining fates of its vibrant characters from the Finnish epic tradition.
Elias Lönnrot, a physician and philologist, embarked on extensive travels throughout Finland to collect these oral epic songs, motivated by a desire to preserve the Finnish language and culture during a time of increasing nationalism. His scholarly pursuits were fortified by the Romantic ideals of his era, which championed the importance of folklore and regional identity. Lönnrot's personal passion for the Finnish landscape and mythology undoubtedly fueled his commitment to craft the Kalevala, imbuing it with a sense of authenticity that continues to resonate.
This enduring work is highly recommended for readers seeking to understand not only Finland's literary heritage but also the universal themes encapsulated within its verses. The "Kalevala" serves as a powerful tribute to the resilience of folk narratives and remains a vital cultural touchstone, making it essential reading for enthusiasts of mythology, epic poetry, and Finnish history. In this enriched edition, we have carefully created added value for your reading experience: - A succinct Introduction situates the work's timeless appeal and themes. - The Synopsis outlines the central plot, highlighting key developments without spoiling critical twists. - A detailed Historical Context immerses you in the era's events and influences that shaped the writing. - A thorough Analysis dissects symbols, motifs, and character arcs to unearth underlying meanings. - Reflection questions prompt you to engage personally with the work's messages, connecting them to modern life. - Hand-picked Memorable Quotes shine a spotlight on moments of literary brilliance. - Interactive footnotes clarify unusual references, historical allusions, and archaic phrases for an effortless, more informed read.
