Recs if you like The Kalevala...

Famous epic poems from a range of different countries

When gods were real and heroes walked the earth, these stories were everything.

If you like The Odyssey, The Iliad, and crave more knowledge on mythological epics told around the world - this list is for you! As much as I love the existing quests and lists around Greco-Roman mythology and its retellings, it fuelled the flame to read other epics that are overshadowed by Greek/Roman/Norse mythology. Start exploring! May you be blessed by the Gods/Goddesses, traveller!

Some of the most iconic Finnish books every Finnish person has read or at least acknowledge as timeless classics.

P.S. These authors have so many other captivating books but the ones chosen are the most popular of the bunch. Some books didn't have an English translation here but they're still worth reading if you're able to.

Not the same as perfect writing, just writing that made a person out of me.
