Kalevala

In the 19th century, Elias Lönnrot collected and recorded Finno-Ugric and Karelian folk songs and legends, uniting them into one epic — "Kalevala". 
Folkloric plots about heroes and mysterious forces of nature, full of battles and trials, revealed to the reader the spirit of the northern people, their rituals, mysteries, and the wisdom of the ages.
This edition features classic illustrations from the Finnish National Gallery and a preface by the author of "Karelian-Finnish Myths" V. Y. Petrukhin.
