Karjalan kankahilta I
Viiden veljen tyttäret -- Pajarin tytär -- Siirnitsa -- Pyhäsaari -- Kolinvuorelta.
Produced by Tapio Riikonen
"Karjalan kankahilta I" by Anonymous is a collection of folk stories written in the late 19th century. This work draws from the rich oral traditions of the Karelian people, encompassing tales that reflect their history, culture, and mythology. The opening chapters introduce us primarily to characters like Katri Hillutar and the misty legends surrounding the five brothers' daughters, delving into themes of loss, survival, and sacred folklore. The opening of the book features Katri Hillutar, an elderly woman who shares her memories of a time when her community thrived before the ravages of war and hardship. She recounts a tale connected to a legendary treasure guarded by the spirits of her ancestors, highlighting the difficult choices faced during dire times, including thoughts of sacrificing her own child due to famine. The initial stories blend personal anecdotes with broader historical narratives, intertwining Karelian myths with vivid character portrayals, setting the stage for a journey through the cultural landscape of Karelia as passed down through generations.
