Sharing its title with the poetic name for Finland - 'the land of
heroes' - Kalevala is the soaring epic poem of its people, a work

the ages from the dawn of creation. Sung by rural Finns since
prehistoric times, and formally compiled by Elias Loennrot in the
nineteenth century, it is a landmark of Finnish culture and played
a vital role in galvanizing its national identity in the decades
leading to independence. Its themes, however, reach beyond borders
and search the heart of human existence. Translated with an
Introduction by Eino Friberg
