About This Book

A travelogue recounts journeys through White Karelia, describing landscapes, villages and everyday life while documenting collection of traditional runic songs and oral lore. The narrator records encounters with singers, fieldwork methods and memories of earlier collectors, weaves descriptions of seasonal labor, rituals, weddings, supernatural beliefs, and healing practices, and reflects on local speech, musical performance and material culture. Combined ethnographic notes and personal anecdotes convey the difficulties of travel, hospitality, and the transmission of poetic tradition across borderlands, offering vivid snapshots of community routines, work, and the places where oral poetry is still performed.
