Kalevipoeg (English spelling)
This epic work depicts the life of the Estonian mythical hero Kalevipoeku (King Kalev's son), full of adventures. It was influenced by national romanticism in the first half of the 19th century and was directly inspired by the appearance of the Finnish epic poem Kalevala. This epic work, spanning 20 chapters and about 19,000 lines, was compiled in poetic form by F.R. Faehlmann (1798-1850)'s friend F.R. Kreutzwald (1803-82), using the rhythm and parallelism of folk songs, based on prose material collected from all over Estonia by F.Faehlmann.
