Manninen)" by Johan Ludvig Runeberg is a collection of epic ballads published in two parts in 1848 and 1860. The poems chronicle the Finnish War of 1808-1809, honoring both real officers and fictional Finnish common soldiers who defended their homeland during Sweden's losing war against Russia. This monumental work strengthened Finnish national identity and became one of the most central works in Finnish literature. The opening poem, "Maamme," is now Finland's national anthem.
