Description

Description from Project Gutenberg

"Kalevala : the Epic Poem of Finland — Volume 02" by Lönnrot and Crawford is an epic poem compiled in the 19th century. This volume continues the Finnish national epic, drawn from ancient folklore and mythology. It chronicles the conflicts between the land of Kalevala and the mysterious realm of Pohjola, weaving tales of heroes, magic, and the legendary Sampo—a mythical wealth-making machine. These stories of creation, rivalry, and adventure helped forge Finland's national identity and influenced writers worldwide, including J.R.R. Tolkien. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
