Book excerpt: 'One of the great mythic poems of Europe' The New York Times Sharing its title with the poetic name for Finland - 'the land of heroes' - Kalevala is the soaring epic poem of its people, a work rich in magic and myth which tells the story of a nation through the ages from the dawn of creation. Sung by rural Finns since prehistoric times, and formally compiled by Elias Lönnrot 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

Book excerpt: No legends of approaching hardship ever hinted at this disaster, a remorseless summer frost starving the land and stealing even the sun’s warmth. Now Surikki takes it upon himself to set the whole world aright—so accustomed to failure, here at least he can fail at something monumental. Lost among people he cannot understand, he understands himself even less. But most confusing of all are the forces that offer either to restore his blighted life or end it. “RETURN TO KALEVALA... a long march to our own funeral.”

At the hone of Ilmarinen Long had they been watching, waiting, For the coming of the blacksmith, With his bride from Sariola. Weary were the eyes of watchers, Waiting from the father's portals, Looking from the mother's windows; Weary were the young knees standing At the gates of the magician; Weary grew the feet of children, Tramping to the walls and watching; Worn and torn, the shoes of heroes, Running on the shore to meet him. Now at last upon a morning Of a lovely day in winter, Heard they from the woods the rumble Of a snow-sledge swiftly bounding. Lakko, hostess of Wainola, She the lovely Kalew-daughter, Spake these words in great excitement: "'Tis the sledge of the magician, Comes at last the metal-waorker From the dismal Sariola, About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Shows how Finnish mythology and folk tales were instrumental to how Tolkien created his own legendarium.”—Boston Globe Kullervo, son of Kalervo, is perhaps the darkest and most tragic of all J.R.R. Tolkien’s characters. “Hapless Kullervo,” as Tolkien called him, is a luckless orphan boy with supernatural powers and a tragic destiny. Brought up in the homestead of the dark magician Untamo, who killed his father, kidnapped his mother, and tried three times to kill him when he was still a boy, Kullervo is alone save for the love of his twin sister, Wanona, and the magical powers of the black dog Musti, who guards him. When Kullervo is sold into slavery he swears revenge on the magician, but he will learn that even at the point of vengeance there is no escape from the cruelest of fates. Tolkien himself said that The Story of Kullervo was “the germ of my attempt to write legends of my own,” and was “a major matter in the legends of the First Age.” Tolkien’s Kullervo is the clear ancestor of Túrin Turambar, the tragic incestuous hero of The Silmarillion. Published with the author’s drafts, notes, and lecture essays on its source work, the Kalevala, The Story of Kullervo is a foundation stone in the structure of Tolkien’s invented world. “A fascinating read.”—NPR

Book Synopsis Finns of Michigan's Upper Peninsula by : The Finnish American Heritage Center
Download or read book Finns of Michigan's Upper Peninsula written by The Finnish American Heritage Center and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2018-11-19 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On Midsummer Eve, 1865, more than 30 Finnish and Sami immigrants disembarked from a Great Lakes ship to a place called Hancock, Michigan. At the time, Hancock consisted of nothing more than a small cluster of humble buildings, but it was here, on the outskirts of mid-19th-century civilization, that Finnish settlement in Michigan's Upper Peninsula (UP) took root. Much to the surprise of these new Americans, Midsummer was not a religious holiday marked by feasts in celebration of the season's prolonged sunlight. Rather, the newcomers were immediately hastened into the bowels of the earth to extract copper in pursuit of the American Dream. In short order, hardworking Finnish immigrants became reputable miners, lumberjacks, farmers, maids, and commercial fishermen. A century and a half later, the UP boasts the largest Finnish population outside of the motherland and sustains the determined spirit the Finns call sisu--an influence that remains palpable in all 15 UP counties.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the preface of this edition of Kalevala, we embark on a journey of rediscovery—a journey that takes us back to 19th-century Finland and introduces us to the visionary mind of Elias Lonnrot. It is within these pages that we uncover the fascinating origins, the transformative impact, and the enduring legacy of this epic tale. Kalevala, a work born out of Lonnrot’s tireless dedication to preserving Finnish folklore, emerged at a time when the nation was undergoing a profound cultural and national awakening. Lonnrot, a physician and a philologist, recognized the importance of collecting and documenting the oral traditions of the Finnish people, and he embarked on a remarkable mission to gather these fragments of ancient wisdom. In this preface, we delve into the historical and cultural context that gave rise to Kalevala. We explore the significance of the Finnish national identity and the role that folklore and mythology played in shaping that identity. We learn about the turbulent times of Finland's struggle for independence and how Kalevala became a symbol of cultural resilience and unity. The preface also unravels the process by which Lonnrot meticulously compiled and shaped the verses of Kalevala. We discover the countless journeys he undertook through the Finnish countryside, listening to the tales of the people, and meticulously piecing together the fragments of an epic that had been passed down through generations. It is a testament to his passion, perseverance, and unwavering belief in the power of storytelling. As we immerse ourselves in the preface, we come to understand the significance of Kalevala in the Finnish literary tradition. Lonnrot’s work not only preserved the ancient tales but also breathed new life into them, transforming them into a coherent narrative that captured the imagination of readers. The preface offers insights into the structure, themes, and motifs that define Kalevala, and the ways in which it resonated with readers both within and beyond Finland's borders. Moreover, the preface highlights the impact of Kalevala on subsequent generations of writers, artists, and musicians. We explore the echoes of Kalevala in Finnish literature, where its themes and characters continue to inspire and influence. We learn about the musical compositions and operas that have been created in response to the epic, showcasing the enduring power of its verses to ignite the creative spirit. Lastly, the preface invites readers to embark on their own journey of discovery through the pages of Kalevala. It is an invitation to explore the beauty, wisdom, and magic that lie within these verses—to immerse oneself in the tales of heroes and deities, to witness the power of words and music, and to experience the profound connection between folklore, culture, and the human experience. As we delve into the preface, we open the gateway to a world of wonder, where ancient tales and timeless wisdom converge. We prepare ourselves to embark on a voyage through the epic tapestry of Kalevala, ready to be enchanted, inspired, and transformed by the verses that have captivated generations.
