Collected By August V. Koskimies And Toivo I. Itkonen In The 1880S From Nearly Two Dozen Storytellers From The Arctic Aanaar (Inari) Region Of Northeast Finland, The Material Reveals A Complex Web Of Social Relations That Existed Both Inside And Far Beyond The Community.First Published In 1918 Only In The Aanaar Smi Language And In Finnish, This Anthology Is Now Available In A Centennial Englishlanguage Edition For A Global Readership. Translator Tim Frandy Has Added Biographies Of The Storytellers, Maps And Period Photos, Annotations, And A Glossary. In Headnotes That Contextualize The Stories, He Explains Such Underlying Themes As Aanaar Conflicts With Neighboring Smi And Finnish Communities, The Collapse Of The Wild Reindeer Populations Less Than A Century Before, And The Prechristian Past In Aanaar. He Introduces Us To The Bawdy Humor Of Antti Kitti, The Didacticism Of Iisakki Mannermaa, And The Feminist Leanings Of Juho Petteri Lusmaniemi, Emphasizing That Folktales And Proverbs Are Rooted In The Experiences Of Individuals Who Are Links In A Living Tradition.
