"Kalevalan laulumailta: Elias Lönnrotin poluilla Vienan Karjalassa" by I.K. Inha is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work explores the landscapes and culture of Viena Karelia, documenting the author's journey rooted in the rich tradition of Finnish storytelling, which is also closely tied to the creation of "Kalevala." The book emphasizes the significance of collecting folk poetry and preserving it, reflecting on the lives of the local people and their oral traditions. At the start of the book, the author, I.K. Inha, reminisces about his motivations for documenting the poetic landscape of Viena Karelia, inspired by the earlier works of Elias Lönnrot. He details his travels through northern Finland and the challenges faced along the journey, highlighting encounters with the local populace, particularly during a famine, as they narrate their struggles with remarkable resilience. Inha's observations illustrate the interplay between the people's hardships and their enduring cultural spirit, a theme that sets the tone for his exploration of this historically rich region.
