What is the truth about Sampo? Juha Hurme's work uncovers the deep-reaching roots of the Kalevala's world mystery.
Explaining the Sampo has been a national pastime in Finland for at least 190 years, ever since the time of Lönnrot's first Kalevala. But what is this peculiar perpetual motion machine, which shuns precise definitions, easily falls apart into fragments, and is an unreliable guarantor of happiness?
For Baltic-Finnic poetry, the sampo has been a mystical center and an inexhaustible source of energy. Mikael Agricola already knew in 1551 to tell about the central characters of the sampo myth, Väinämöinen and Ilmarinen, and Elias Lönnrot built his Kalevala on the thrilling sampo adventure.
Juha Hurme tells the magnificent history of the Sampo and its explanation accurately and insightfully, down to the Stone Age roots of the miraculous device.
