Paperback
(Forgotten Books June 14, 2012)
The spirit of nationalism that swept over the small peoples of Europe in the early nineteenth century touched faraway Finland and started the Finns on the quest of the Finnish. There as elsewhere scholars who were also patriots found that the native tongue, lost to the educated and the well-to-do, had heen preserved in the songs and stories which were current among the peasants. Elias Lonnrot spent a long and busy life collecting those ancient rimos from which he succeeded in building up a national epic, the Kalevala. This is Lonnrot sgreat contribution to his own country and to the world. Beside the material for the Kalevala Lonnrot made important collections of lyrics, proverbs, and stories.(Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)About the Publisher Forgotten Books is a publisher of historical writings, such as: Philosophy, Classics, Science, Religion, History, Folklore and Mythology.Forgotten Books' Classic Reprint Series utilizes the latest technology to regenerate facsimiles of historically important writings.
