Vänrikki Stoolin tarinat (suom. Cajander) by Johan Ludvig Runeberg
"Vänrikki Stoolin tarinat (suom. Cajander)" by Johan Ludvig Runeberg is a collection of epic poetry published in two parts in 1848 and 1860. The thirty-five poems honor real officers and fictional common soldiers who defended their homeland during the Finnish War of 1808–1809, a failed Swedish defense against Russia. This national epic shaped Finnish identity and became mandatory school reading for decades. The opening poem "Maamme" is now Finland's national anthem, while
other notable works include "Sven Dufva" and "Porilaisten marssi." (This is an automatically generated summary.)
