Kalevala (1862): Lyhennetty laitos by Elias Lönnrot
"Kalevala (1862): Lyhennetty laitos" by Elias Lönnrot is an abridged edition of an epic poem published in 1862. This shortened version of Finland's national epic draws from Finnish, Karelian, and Ingrian folklore to tell stories of creation, conflict between rival lands, and the mythical Sampo—a magical wealth-making machine. Through tales of heroes, antagonists, and supernatural events, the work captures ancient oral traditions that helped shape Finnish national identity and influenced writers worldwide,
including J.R.R. Tolkien. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
