Kalevala : the Epic Poem of Finland — Volume 01 by Lönnrot and Crawford

"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.
