Summary "Elias Lönnrotin matkat I: 1828-1839" by Elias Lönnrot is a historical account written in the early 20th century.

The book consists of personal memories, diary excerpts, and letters documenting his adventures, capturing the essence of 19th-century Finland. At the start of the narrative, Lönnrot reflects on his preparation for a journey that begins in his childhood home, contemplating the fears and concerns expressed by his family about his travels. He sets off on foot into the Finnish countryside, filled with nostalgia and memories of his youth, while also pondering the motivations behind exploration and achievement.
