Anotace knihy

Enter a world of ancient magic, heroic quests, powerful enchantments, and songs capable of shaping the very forces of nature.

The Kalevala, compiled by Lönnrot from Finland's rich oral poetry, follows the legendary adventures of Väinämöinen, the wise and powerful singer; Ilmarinen, the master smith who forged the heavens; and the reckless warrior Lemminkäinen. Their destinies become entwined with Louhi, the formidable Mistress of the North, and the mysterious Sampo-a magical object whose creation, possession, and eventual destruction bring prosperity, rivalry, and conflict. Alongside their adventures unfolds the tragic story of Kullervo, one of the epic's darkest and most unforgettable figures.

Filled with creation myths, sorcery, monsters, transformations, journeys into the realm of death, contests of magic, courtship, revenge, tragedy, and battles for supernatural treasures, The Kalevala preserves the extraordinary mythic imagination of Finnish tradition. Both a sweeping heroic epic and a treasury of ancient folklore, it invites readers into a strange and beautiful northern world where words possess power, heroes challenge the impossible, and the boundaries between humanity, nature, and the supernatural are never far apart.
