Sung by rural Finns since prehistoric times, and formally compiled by Elias Loennrot in the nineteenth century, it is a landmark of Finnish culture and played a vital role in galvanizing its national identity in the decades leading to independence. Its themes, however, reach beyond borders and search the heart of human existence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTranslated with an Introduction by Eino Friberg\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HUNTS BOOKSHOP LTD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45781899182320,"sku":"9780241403068","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0514\/8635\/9739\/files\/9780241403068.jpg?v=1713463859","url":"https:\/\/huntsbookshop.live\/products\/9780241403068","provider":"Hunt's Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
