Summary "Runola" by C. A. Gottlund is a poetic manuscript written in the early 19th century. The work revolves around themes of Finnish mythology and poetry, exploring the rich cultural heritage of Finland and its storytellers. The primary figure is Väinämöinen, a revered character from Finnish folklore, depicted here as he navigates through mystical realms in search of inspiration and connection with the essence of Finnish song and culture. The opening of "Runola" introduces the author's contemplation of Finland's poetic landscape, noting the absence of a classic mythical homeland for Finnish poets. Through a series of lyrical reflections, the character expresses remorse over the neglect of the Finnish language and artistry. As he dreams, Väinämöinen himself appears, offering encouragement and motivation, urging him to seek the immortal realm of song. This enchanting journey promises to uncover the beauty of the Finnish language and traditions, inviting readers to delve into a narrative rich with lyrical and cultural significance.
