Analyzing the special, metaphorical language and extraordinary figurativeness of Karelian laments, Unelma Konkka reveals the specifics of family rites - the most important acts in the life of an individual and the entire tribal team, performed during critical periods of existence, when a person was especially exposed to dangers emanating from spirits, the dead, evil people , sorcerers, etc. The author cites all texts of lamentations in the original language and in Russian translation. This book opens a new series "Sariola" dedicated to research and researchers of traditional Karelian culture.
