Kalevala näyttämöllä: II sarja (of 3)
Kyllikki -- Lemminkäinen tuonelassa -- Pohjolan häät.
E-text prepared by Jari Koivisto
"Kalevala näyttämöllä: II sarja" by Eino Leino is a theatrical adaptation of the Finnish national epic, "Kalevala," presented as a play written in the early 20th century. This book explores themes of love, bravery, and the mystique of Finnish folklore through its characters and narrative, reflecting a cultural significance deeply rooted in Finnish identity. Eino Leino, known for his contributions to Finnish literature, employs lyrical language and dramatic elements to bring the epic's stories to life. The book consists of three acts, each focusing on different narratives from the "Kalevala." The first act introduces Kyllikki and Lemminkäinen, with a humorous yet tumultuous cross between romance and valor, as Lemminkäinen seeks Kyllikki’s affection amidst societal ridicule. The second act transitions into Lemminkäinen’s venture into the realm of the dead, Tuonela, where he faces challenges that reflect themes of fate and destiny. The final act, "Pohjolan häät," revolves around Lemminkäinen's conflict at the wedding in Pohjola, where misunderstandings and competition arise, leading to dramatic encounters that intertwine love, conflict, and the pursuit of honor. Through these narratives, Leino captures the spirit of the "Kalevala," enriching it with theatrical expression and vivid character portrayals. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
