		Jaan Kross survived the Nazi and Soviet occupations of Estonia and hard labour in the Gulag.
		Jaan Kross, the Estonian novelist and poet, was born into an independent Tallinn in 1920 and has lived there much of his life.
		Kross is not known to be "disputatious", says Tiina Laats of the Estonian Institute in Tallinn, so she was surprised when, in 1988, he engaged in a bitter public argument over the historical accuracy of his work.

	Jaan Kross
		Kross himself was arrested in 1946 by the NKVD.
		From the beginning, Kross poetry had included historical subjects, but it was not until in the 1970s, when Kross turned seriously his attention to the historical novel, which offered a seemingly neutral way to explore national and ethical questions, the role of the intelligentsia and political opportunism, and the artistic freedom of expression.
		Kross has received several awards, including the Finnish Eeva Joenpelto Award in 1988, the French Prix du Meilleur Livre Étranger in 1989, the Amnesty International Golden Flame Prize in 1990; the National Cultural award in 1998, annual award of the Estonian Cultural Endowment in 1998, and the Baltic Assembly prize for literature in 1999.

		Kross began writing prose in the latter half of the 1960s, first with a film scenario "A Livonian Chronicle" (Liivimaa kroonika) which dealt with the life of the author Balthasar Russow (1536-1600) and which also became the subject of his first masterpiece "Between Three Plagues" (Kolme katku vahel, 1970), a suit of four novels.
		Kross himself has termed his own books psychological character novels, which is by no means to underrate the time and space which surrounds these figures: Kross attempts to be as accurate as possible with regard to historical detail, whether the work is set in the 16th or 20th century.
		Jaan Kross' twelve full-length novels, his short stories and novellæ cover a cross-section of Estonian history in a European context.

	About Jaan Kross (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Jaan Kross (born in 1920), poet, novelist and translator, was born in Tallinn, Estonia, during that country's period of interwar independence; he began to publish in magazines by the time he was 16.
		Kross was arrested as an Estonian patriot by the German army in 1944; in 1946 he was arrested by the Soviet secret police and spent eight years "interned" in the Komi and Krasnoyarsk regions.
		He has been mentioned as a contender for the Nobel Prize in Literature, and on at least one occasion was told to wait by the phone for a call that did not come (evidently this is an unpleasant experience shared by many writers once they reach a certain age and perceived level of significance).

		Although the tales usually end badly (a prisoner commits suicide; a man trying to escape dies; an injured girl perishes because the doctors have fled; another prisoner is shot)?they are less tragic than they are thoughtful and funny.
		Kross ascribes to one of his characters a certain "tart irony," which rather neatly describes his own slightly removed style.
		Mirk is wryly critical of both sets of captors, of Estonians of German descent who answered Hitler's call for repatriation, to a lesser extent of "true-blooded blue-fl-and-white" Estonian patriots and of his own cautious behavior.

		Jaan: Had I succeeded in escaping to the West in 1944, I would hardly have become a successful lawyer, perhaps I’d have stuck to academic work.
		Jaan: The book the writer is currently working on should also be the most fascinating one for him, otherwise I’d have to tell myself that I’m now doing something less exciting.
		Jaan: My father was a hard-working man, but he was also a society figure and for a time a member of the Tallinn City Council.

	Jaan Kross - green-point-mortgage.info

	ELM. No 10. Jaan Kross — 80
		It is scandalous that, in for instance the 1930s, there were so many gullible so-called educated people, or members of the intelligentsia in the West, who were quite prepared to believe what they wished to, rather than what they could see with their own eyes.
		To read Jaan Kross’ works, a member of the Western intelligentsia ought to use their intelligence.
		I look at Ellen and Jaan in awe, the two halves, the one whole, and I remember the most pleasant moments for a translator: co-operating with the author in the final stage of translation.

	The Conspiracy and Other Stories (Jaan Kross) - review
		Jaan Kross' collection of six short stories brings home its consequences for Estonians of his generation.
		These were not happy times and Kross' are not, on the surface, happy stories: four of them end with deaths and, moreover, deaths for which Peeter bears responsibility.
		He has a wry, understated humour and a detachment which help him to maintain an upbeat mood — and which one suspects must have stood him in good stead during his own time in prisons and labour camps.

	The Conspiracy & Other Stories - Kross, Jaan - 1860460062 - Comprar libro - Venta de libro - Libros en espanol e ingles
		The Conspiracy & Other Stories.When these stories were written the Estonians were not masters in their own house: the Soviets had been the occupying Power since 1940, apart from the three years 1941-44 when the Nazis were in occupation.
		This is the background to these six stories featuring Peeter Mirk, a young law student who is more often in than out of prison and labor camp during these years - like his creator Jaan Kross.
		If the tone is necessarily somber as Kross recalls the years when Hitler and Stalin determined his countrymen's destiny, a wry humor keeps slipping through at every turn, which will suggest to the reader that Peeter Mirk must be cousin to the Good Soldier Schweik.
