Kalevala
- graphic Novel
Lönnrot - Friberg - Huitula
The Kalevala is one of the great epics in
world
literature alongside the Iliad, the Odyssey, Gilgamesh
and Nibelungenlied.
Elias Lönnrot's (1802-1884) collected, compiled and
edited these
Finnish epic narrative folk poems and published his final
masterpiece
in 1849.
This Kalevala graphic novel is the first and
only
comic book adaptation of the epic. It contains the entire storyline of
the Kalevala from all fifty cantos. Eino Friberg's (1901-1995)
masterful translation retains the original beautiful phrasing and
captures the essence of the Kalevala. It truly manages to arouse
the
interest of today's modern reader.
Kristian Huitula (1973-) is an accomplished comic book artist
whose
visual images show exceptional artistic talent. At last the magic of
the Kalevala is finding its way to new audiences in a new form
with
qualities that makes it perhaps even more intriguing and accessible
than ever before.
