Book Synopsis Estonian Short Stories by : Kajar Pruul
Download or read book Estonian Short Stories written by Kajar Pruul and published by Northwestern University Press. This book was released on 1996-01-15 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This anthology of contemporary Estonian short fiction meets an important need. Although Estonian writers have been known as bold and exciting innovators testing the bounds of Soviet literary doctrine, much of that reputation is based on hearsay. This collection charts the return of modernism to Estonian prose fiction at the end of the sixties and the beginning of the seventies and its subsequent evolution during the following two decades. It also introduces English-language readers to a vigorous and original contemporary literature.
Book Synopsis My Estonia: Passport Forgery, Meat Jelly Eaters, and Other Stories by : Justin Petrone
Download or read book My Estonia: Passport Forgery, Meat Jelly Eaters, and Other Stories written by Justin Petrone and published by . This book was released on 2009-11 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some people have said this book is romantic and maybe it is: a young lost American college grad falls in love with an intriguing European journalist and embarks on a journey that restores his faith in himself and the world. Sure, it is romantic. But it was never easy. A foreigner arrives in the middle of a dark winter and must survive in Estonia, the "least fortunate Scandinavian country," a land where people eat blood sausage and jellied meat, drink warm bread, and are always on time; a place where every family is haunted by the past and is struggling to catch up to the present. Over the course of one year, so much happens in this tiny northern land that it stops being foreign. Estonia and the college grad turned journalist become intimately acquianted. Inseparable. And in the end, he comes to love it, even when they do not want to let him back into their country.

Download or read book Estonia written by Alexander Theroux and published by Fantagraphics Books. This book was released on 2011-11-21 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Any journey with Alexander Theroux is an education. Possessed of a razor-sharp and hyperliterate mind, he stands beside Thomas Pynchon as one of the sharpest cultural commentators of our time. So when he decided to accompany his wife ― the artist Sarah Son-Theroux ― on her Fulbright Scholarship to Estonia, it occasioned this penetrating examination of a country that, for many, seems alien and distanced from the modern world. For Theroux, the country and its people become a puzzle. His fascination with their language, manners, and legacy of occupation and subordination lead him to a revelatory examination of Estonia’s peculiar place in European history. All the while, his trademark acrobatic allusions, quotations, and digressions ― which take us fromHamlet through Jean Cocteau to Married… with Children ― render his travels as much internal and psychical as they are external and physical. Through these obsessive references to Western culture, we come to appreciate how insular the country has become, yet also marvel at its fierce individuality and preternatural beauty ― such is the skill of Theroux’s gaze. This travelogue of his nine months abroad also brims with anecdotes of Theroux’s encounters with Estonian people and ― in some of its most bitterly comedic episodes ― his fellow Americans whom he at times feels more alienated from than the frosty, humorless Europeans. Estonia: A Ramble Through the Periphery is as biting and satirical as it is witty and urbane; as curious and lyrical as it is brash and irreverent. It marks a new highlight in an already stellar career and a book that continues Fantagraphics’ exceptional line of prose works.

Book Synopsis Estonian Animation by : Chris Robinson
Download or read book Estonian Animation written by Chris Robinson and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2007-02-20 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ever wonder why Estonian animation features so many carrots or why cows often perform pyramids? Well, neither question is answered in Chris Robinson's new book, Estonian Animation. Robinson's frank, humorous, and thoroughly researched book traces the history of Estonia's acclaimed animation scene from early experiments in the 1930s to the creation of puppet (Nukufilm) and cel (Joonisfilm) animation studios during the Soviet era, as well as Estonia's surprising international success during the post-Soviet era. In addition, Robinson writes about the discovery of films by four 1960s animation pioneers who, until the release of this book, had been unknown to most Estonian and international animation historians.
Download or read book War in the Woods written by M. Laar and published by Howells House. This book was released on 1992 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the Soviet reoccupation after World War II, Estonians faced a choice of submitting to Communist puppets or trying to survive in the traditional refuge of their forests while waiting for help from the West which never came. Those who chose the second course, Estonia's "Forest Brothers", mounted an armed resistance which, for more than a decade, seriously challenged Soviet rule. This is their story, told for the first time by sources within Estonia. This account is drawn from interviews with Forest Brothers who survived and relatives of those who died, and from documents and photographs from Soviet KGB files. It reflects Estonian courage and humor, the faith and sacrifice of a people suppressed, and the indomitable determination of a free nation to regain independence.
