Over A Period Of Fifteen Years, The Authors Of This Beautiful Volume Have Collected And Translated 450 Orally Transmitted Poems, Songs, Charms, Prayers, And Laments From Finnougrian Languages Such As Finnish, Estonian, And Lapp. Presented In Both English And The Original Languages, These Works Offer Unique Insights Into The Worldview And Lives Of Preliterate Peoples In Various Stages Of Cultural And Social Development. The Poems Reveal The Beliefs, Perceptions, And Artistic Genius Of Fifteen Peoples Scattered Across Northern Europe From Scandinavia, Deep Into Russia And Beyond The Urals, And Of The Hungarians In Central Europe. Magnificently Produced, With More Than Fortyfive Illustrations, The Book Begins With Contexualizing Essays On The Finnougrian Peoples, Oral Poetry, And The Beliefs And Ritual Practices Reflected In The Poems. The Poems Themselves Are Arranged Thematically, According To Such Topics As Cosmology, Hunting, Agriculture, Animal Husbandry, Love, Marriage, Healing, And Death. They Are Followed By A Poembypoem Commentary Which Contextualizes And Explicates The Text.
