Informationen zum Autor JAAN KROSS (1920-2007) was Estonia's most prominent twentieth-century writer. As a poet, novelist, and short story writer, he portrayed Baltic life under Czarist, Nazi, and Soviet occupation, always having to work around the demands of the censors. His best-known work is a trilogy of novels, Between Three Plagues, set in the 16th century. ERIC DICKENS is a freelance translator. In addition to two other works by Jaan Kross, he has published translations of two books by Mati Unt for Dalkey Archive.
