The Kalevala is a 19th-century work of epic poetry compiled by Elias Lönnrot from Finnish and Karelian oral folklore and mythology.It is regarded as the national epic of Finland and is one of the most significant works of Finnish literature. The Kalevala played an instrumental role in the development of the Finnish national identity, the intensification of Finland's language strife and the growing sense of nationality that ultimately led to Finland's independence from Russia in 1917. The version most commonly known today was first published in 1849 and consists of 22,795 verses, divided into fifty songs and it is this version which is printed here.

This ebook is in Finnish. The Kalevala or The Kalewala is a work of epic poetry written by Elias Lönnrot from Karelian and Finnish oral folklore and mythology in nineteenth century. Kalevala on Suomen kansalliseepos. Se perustuu Elias Lönnrotin (1802-1884) vuodesta 1828 alkaen kokoamiin suomalais-karjalaisiin kansanrunoihin. Nämä runot ovat kalevalaista runoutta eli ne on tehty kalevalaiseen runomittaan. Kalevalan sisältämät runot eivät ole suoraan runonlaulajien laulamassa muodossa, vaan niitä on muokattu, niiden kieliasua on yhtenäistetty ja korjailtu ja joitakin osia runoista on siirretty toiseen paikkaan ja eri asiayhteyteen kuin alun perin muistiin merkityissä runoissa. Osan Lönnrot on runoillut itse muodostamaan yhtenäisiä juonikuvioita.

The Kalevala is a Finnish epic poem, which tells of the creation of the world and how the heroes that inhabit it came to be, and the legends of their conflicts and adventures. Spread out over fifty cantos, we hear how existence was created from the egg of a duck, how the forests were created from the chips of a world-tree felled by an ancient wizard, how the mighty Sampöa multicolored mill of plenty¿was created and later stolen, how the nine dread diseases came to be, and many more such stories.The tales contained here are formed from Finland¿s oral history. The author, Elias Lönnrot, was a Finnish doctor who was fascinated with his country¿s stories, so between the 1820s and 1850s he embarked on a series of expeditions to the countryside of Finland and the surrounding area to collect and transcribe the folk stories told by local people. These tales were gradually collected into several volumes, the final of which is this ¿new¿ Kalevala. Lönnrot collected many different variants of each story, then edited each down into a cohesive whole when composing the new verse. The distinctive Kalevala-meter that was a common feature of all the original oral stories was kept during the process, and Crawford used the same with this English translation.Lönnrot¿s work proved extremely influential in Finland, and the national pride it imbued has been cited as a factor in the later Finnish independence movement. The Kalevala was also a source of inspiration for later authors of the twentieth century. Tolkien reused some of the themes and characters for the basis of his fictional universe (in particular The Silmarillion), the Kalevala-meter was used in Longfellow¿s The Song of Hiawatha, and even Donald Duck has quested¿as the Kalevala heroes did¿for the legendary Sampo.This edition was translated by John Martin Crawford in the late nineteenth century, and includes his introduction discussing some of the themes, characters, and settings.

Kalevalan sisarteos Kanteletar on Elias Lonnrotin kokoama kansanrunokokoelma. Kantelettaren runot ovat kalevalaista runomittaa, ja ne ovat toimineet suomalaisen kansanmusiikin inspiraationa julkaisustaan lahtien. Vuonna 1840 ilmestyneen teoksen lyyriset runot pohjautuvat Lonnrotin runonkeruumatkoihin Karjalassa.-

"e;Iloissani laulelen ma, vaikk' on suruvirsi,Kultani syan on kylmempi, kun jainen seinahirsi.Mika lie mun kullalleni tehnyt uuen mielen,Muien kanssa kavelee ja istuu muien viereen.Syameni on surunen ja paani alas painuu,Kun tuo oma kultani muien tyko taipuu."e;Katkelma laulusta "e;Hyljatty"e;"e;Suomalaisia kansanlauluja"e; sisaltaa Elias Lonnrotin keraamia kansanlauluja, jotka julkaistiin alun perin "e;Mehilainen"e;-aikakauslehdessa vuosina 1839-1840. Monet Lonnrotin keraamista kansanlauluista julkaistiin "e;Kanteletar"e;-teoksessa, mutta nama laulut jaivat kirjan ulkopuolelle. Juho Ahava kokosi ne "e;Suomalaisia kansanlauluja"e; -kirjaksi vuonna 1909.Teos sisaltaa seka tyttojen etta poikien lauluja.

Ilmatar-neito kavelee veteen, ja sotka munii munan hanen rinnallensa. Munasta syntyy koko tuntemamme maailma, ja vedesta nousee Vainamoinen, ikivanha ja vakeva loitsija. Niin tarkea han vasta luodulle maailmalle on, etta hanen kuolemansa tarkoittaisi kaikkeuden kuihtumista siihen paikkaan. Hanen syntymastaan alkaa seka tunnetun maailman etta Kalevala-eepoksen tarina.Kalevala on Suomen ja Karjalan tasavallan kansalliseepos. Se perustuu Elias Lonnrotin (1802-1884) vuodesta 1828 alkaen kokoamiin suomalais-karjalaisiin kansanrunoihin.-

Elias Lonnrot kokosi arvoitukset kansien valiin vuonna 1851. Arvoitusten aiheet kasittelevat esimerkiksi luontoa, ihmissuhteita ja elamaa maatalousyhteisossa. Monissa arvoituksissa on havaittavissa kalevalamainen tempo.-
