\n\tAbout Egon Rannet<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

\n\tEgon Rannet (Eugen\/Jevgeni Br\u00fccke until 1940, 29.\/16. XI 1911-1. XI 1983) is mostly known as a playwright, whose works follow the principles of socialist realism.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tHe was born in Tallinn and was educated there. His father, who did not return to the family after being drafted during World War I, worked in the Red Army and People\u2019s Commissariat for Internal Affairs (NKVD) in Soviet Union for 40 years. Br\u00fccke studied in several schools in Tallinn, including the Tallinn Kaarli Gymnasium from 1926-1928. His mother passed early, after which Br\u00fccke was forced to support himself. He worked many jobs and was even caught up in the Tallinn underworld. He was a member of the Vaps Movement (the nationalist populists in Estonia in the 1930s). In World War II, he fought on the Soviet side and took part in several battles. From 1944, he worked in the police force of the ESSR, first in criminal investigation and then in the prosecution. From 1947, he worked in Tallinn as a professional writer. From 1950, he joined the Estonian Writers\u2019 Union and from 1961, was a Merited Writer of the ESSR. In the 1954 Looming<\/em> short story competition, his story Elul\u00f5imed<\/em> (\u2018Threads of Life\u2019) received a prize and \u00d5igus armastusele<\/em> (\u2018Right to Love\u2019) was recognized. He received the State Prize of the Soviet Estonia for the drama Kadunud poeg<\/em> (\u2018Lost Son\u2019, 1958). He received the literary award of the E. Vilde collective farm for the first volume of the novel Kivid ja leib<\/em> (\u2018Stones and Bread\u2019, 1972). He was married to Vaike Rannet (1925-1999). He died in Tallinn and is buried at Tallinn Metsakalmistu (Forest Cemetery).<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tHe debuted in the newspaper Noorte H\u00e4\u00e4l<\/em> in 1947. In 1951, his satirical collection Ameerika elulaad<\/em> (\u2018American Way of Life\u2019) was published. He was one of the most important writers of literary reportage: Seltsimehed Torist<\/em> (\u2018Comrades from Tori\u2019, 1953) focuses on the topic of horse breeding and Tugevate tee<\/em> (\u2018Path of the Strong\u2019, 1954) on collective farm life. In the mid-1950s, plays that are characterized by a distinct Soviet attitude, socialist realism and conceptualism took center stage in his writings. The plays mostly focused on topical problems and were built upon a clear political or ethical conflict. The drama S\u00fcdamevalu<\/em> (\u2018Heartache\u2019, published in Looming<\/em> and staged in 1956; as a book in 1957) depicts conflicts at a collective farm and the personal problems of the main character Kustas Loki. A more psychological approach is taken in the drama Kadunud poeg<\/em> (\u2018The Lost Son\u2019, 1958), which focuses on a spy named Mart Tuisk, who has just returned home. The drama portrays the ideological opposition of the West and the Soviet Union. The satirical \u201cKriminaaltango\u201d<\/em> ja V\u00e4ga korralikud inimesed<\/em> (\u2018\u201dCriminal tango\u201d and Very Decent People\u2019, 1968) deals with youth crime, the cause of which is the negative influence of the West.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tIn 1972, the first volume of his novel sequence Kivid ja leib<\/em> (\u2018Stones and Bread\u2019), which depicts country life, was published. The second volume remained incomplete until it was finished by his wife Vaike Rannet. The voluminous third and fourth book were written by her entirely. The saga became popular among readers.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
