For the first time in more than a century and a half the first prose translation of "Kalevala", prepared by the famous St. Petersburg publisher and writer Eduard Andreevich Granström in 1881, returns to Russian readers.
The world-famous Karelian-Finnish epic "Kalevala", which is based on ancient folk songs-runes, is on a par with the Scandinavian "Edda", the German "Song of the Nibelungs" and Homer's "Iliad" in importance and beauty. Under the influence of this epic were created dozens of masterpieces, such as "The Silmarillion", "The Hobbit" and "The Lord of the Rings" by John Tolkien, who, inventing the language of the elves, imitated the sound of the chants of "Kalevala". The distinctive feature of our edition is not only a beautiful classical translation, but also the rarest illustrations, created by the classics of Finnish, European and Russian book graphics, collected in one edition for the first time.
