The Kalevala such as the Iliad and the Odyssey, flourished from a rich oral tradition with its roots in prehistoric times.
During the first millennium of the modern Uralic-speaking populations - a strain not Indo-European - Settled on the eastern shores of the Baltic and developed poetic art which survived until the nineteenth century. This high expression of a sensitive lyrical, mythical and religious formed the material for the work that the philologist Elias Lönnrot compiled and he published in final form in 1849.
During several trips to remote and almost unknown by the voice of reciters he collected a vast amount of writing verses which immortalized in imparting to them an order unit and a grand narrative.
His work exercised a fundamental influence on the national identity of Finland to the historical recognition of the independence, while the contents of the magic and inspiration transcendent holy verses have raised the Kalevala sull'empireo of world literature, showing the West what the wisdom of an ancient Asian civilization euro is still alive and present.
A hundred years after the publication of the historic metrical translation into Italian by Paolo Emilio Pavolini the world mysterious and legendary heroes Väinämöinen, Ilmarinen and Lemminkäinen remains virtually unknown to the Italian public. This edition
prose, translated and edited by Marcello Ganassini, the only full version of the precious classical philology, ending decades of waiting for forming a new editorial and missed a fascinating glimpse into what Tolkien described it as "a complete wine-cellar filled with bottles of wine of an extraordinary diversity and flavor never tasted before."
