Book Synopsis The Kalevala by :

Download or read book The Kalevala written by and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 1985-03-15 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The national folk epic of Finland is here presented in an English translation that is both scholarly and eminently readable. To avoid the imprecision and metrical monotony of earlier verse translations, Francis Magoun has used prose, printed line for line as in the original so that repetitions, parallelisms, and variations are readily apparent. The lyrical passages and poetic images, the wry humor, the tall-tale extravagance, and the homely realism of the Kalevala come through with extraordinary effectiveness.
