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.
