Kalevala

A monument of world literature — the Karelian-Finnish epic poem "Kalevala" by Elias Lönnrot (1802–1884) — is published in an abridged version translated by Armas Mishin (1935–2018) and Eino Kiuru (1929–2015). The book introduces the reader to the key plots... of the poem. Among them are myths about the creation of the world from a duck egg, the birth of fire and iron, the creation of the musical instrument kanteles and the magical mill Sampo, the abduction of the sun and moon and their liberation.
The themes and motifs of "Kalevala" rightfully entered the realm of world cultural heritage: in literature, painting, music. The edition is supplemented with a preface, a list of the main characters of the poem, a detailed table of contents, and a glossary of forgotten terms.
