"Kalevala : the Epic Poem of Finland — Volume 01" by Lönnrot and Crawford is a compilation of epic poetry published in 1835. Drawn from Finnish, Karelian, and Ingrian folklore, it weaves tales of Earth's creation, conflicts between rival lands, and the mythical Sampo—a legendary wealth-making machine. Through heroes and antagonists locked in controversy and revenge, this national epic became instrumental in shaping Finnish identity and independence, while influencing works from Tolkien
to international literature. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
