Kalevala

Category : Poetry
Languages : en

Book Description
'One of the great mythic poems of Europe' The New York Times Sharing its title with the poetic name for Finland - 'the land of heroes' - Kalevala is the soaring epic poem of its people, a work rich in magic and myth which tells the story of a nation through the ages from the dawn of creation. Sung by rural Finns since prehistoric times, and formally compiled by Elias Lönnrot in the nineteenth century, it is a landmark of Finnish culture and played a vital role in galvanizing its national identity in the decades leading to independence.

Kalevala The Graphic Novel
Author: Sami Makkonen
Publisher: Ablaze Publishing
ISBN:
Category : Comics & Graphic Novels
Languages : en
Pages : 314
Book Description
BEFORE THE HOBBIT, THE LORD OF THE RINGS, AND GAME OF THRONES THERE WAS THE EPIC THAT INSPIRED IT ALL! A stunning comic adaptation of the epic The Kalevala, which inspired J.R.R. Tolkien to write The Lord of the Rings. It's the foundational epic of the fantasy genre. The story tells of the adventures and fates of wizard Väinämöinen, warrior Lemminkäinen, blacksmith Ilmarinen and other larger-than-life characters seeking love, riches, and magic in the faraway lands of the ancient North. This is a bold approach to Kalevala by an established talent – visually powerful and accessible. Sami Makkola is bringing Kalevala to a whole different level and emphasizing the elements of horror in Kalevala, which are often left in the background when only the main events of Kalevala are discussed. Sami Makkola is internationally renowned. He has received the Sarjas Award for Best Fantasy Comic and has been nominated for a number of other awards, including the Ghastly Awards for horror work. His awards include: Sarjakuvantekijät RY award 2007 (Sarjas Award for Best Fantasy Comic) Independent Publisher Book Awards Graphic Novel/Drawn Book – Drama/Documentary 2010 Independent Publisher Book Awards Graphic Novel/Drawn Book – Drama/Documentary 2011 USA Best Book Award Comics: Graphic Novels 2013

Translating Picturebooks
Author: Riitta Oittinen
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1351622161
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 275
Book Description
Translating Picturebooks examines the role of illustration in the translation process of picturebooks and how the word-image interplay inherent in the medium can have an impact both on translation practice and the reading process itself. The book draws on a wide range of picturebooks published and translated in a number of languages to demonstrate the myriad ways in which information and meaning is conveyed in the translation of multimodal material and in turn, the impact of these interactions on the readers’ experiences of these books. The volume also analyzes strategies translators employ in translating picturebooks, including issues surrounding culturally-specific references and visual and verbal gaps, and features a chapter with excerpts from translators’ diaries written during the process. Highlighting the complex dynamics at work in the translation process of picturebooks and their implications for research on translation studies and multimodal material, this book is an indispensable resource for students and researchers in translation studies, multimodality, and children’s literature.
