Elias Lönnrot

    9. duben 1802 – 19. březen 1884

    Elias Lönnrot byl finský filolog a sběratel tradiční finské ústní poezie, který je nejvíce oslavován pro složení Kalevaly, finského národního eposu sestaveného z národního folklóru. Jeho skutečnou vášní byl jeho rodný finský jazyk a během svých rozsáhlých cest po venkově Finska, Laponska a ruské Karélie sbíral lidové příběhy a ústní tradice. Lönnrotovy sběratelské snahy vedly k publikaci několika klíčových děl, které zachytily podstatu finské lidové slovesnosti. Za svou práci při zachování finských ústních tradic byl Lönnrot jmenován profesorem finské literatury na Helsinské univerzitě, čímž potvrdil svůj trvalý odkaz v literárním světě.

    Kalevala
    • Kalevala (1849), nejzralejší plod finského národního obrození a sběratelského i básnického úsilí filologa a folkloristy Eliase Lönnrota, náleží k základním textům světové epiky a nabízí fascinující vhled do světa archaické a žánrově mnohotvárné (ugro)finské lidové slovesnosti. Kniha přináší krom překladu Kalevaly z pera spisovatele Josefa Holečka (1894) i kritický komentář k němu a dále studii o vzniku a stavbě eposu ve světle nových bádání různých oborů. V takto komplexní podobě a s ilustracemi nejvýznamnějšího finského malíře Akseliho Gallen-Kallely vychází Kalevala česky vůbec poprvé.

      Kalevala
    • The Kalevala is the great Finnish epic, which like the Iliad and the Odyssey, grew out of a rich oral tradition with prehistoric roots.During the first millenium of our era, speakers of Uralic languages (those outside the Indo-European group) who had settled in the Baltic region of Karelia, that straddles the border of eastern Finland and north-west Russia, developed an oral poetry that was to last into the nineteenth century.This poetry provided the basis of the Kalevala. It was assembled in the 1840s by the Finnish scholar Elias L"onnrot, who took `dictation' from the performance of a folk singer, in much the same way as our great collections from the past, from Homeric poems to medieval songs and epics, have probably been set down.Published in 1849, it played a central role in the march towards Finnish independence and inspired some of Sibelius's greatest works. This new and exciting translation by poet Keith Bosley, prize-winning translator of the anthology Finnish Folk Poetry: Epic, is the first truly to combine liveliness with accuracy in a way which reflects the richness of the original.
