Andres Pranspill (also used the name forms Andres Pranspiel, Andrew Pranspill, 9 September 1887 \u2013 6 June 1968) was an emigre Estonian writer.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tHe was born on Liudsepa farm at Helme in Valga County. In 1902, he left his home parish for St Petersburg. From Russia, he moved on to the USA. He acquired secondary education in New York and remained in the USA. There, he held different jobs: he was a carpenter, a sailor, a medical assistant, working at the same time as a non-staff correspondent and columnist for newspapers published in Estonia.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tIn New York, Pranspill published W\u00e4lis Eesti<\/em> (\u2018Foreign Estonia\u2019, 1926), a collection on cultural history with versatile content. In 1928, Pranspill visited Estonia. In the same year, Ameerika antoloogia<\/em> (\u2018American Anthology\u2019), a collection of American literature compiled and translated by him, was published in Tartu. Along with Johannes Semper, Andres Pranspill was the first to introduce Walt Whitman\u2019s poetry to Estonian readers.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tAs a fruit of decades-long translation work, the English-language collection Estonian Anthology was published in the United States in 1956. The collection was compiled and published by Pranspill, partly also translated by him. Along with the translations of Faehlmann, Kreutzwald, Eisen, Juhan Liiv, Tammsaare, Tuglas, Under and other well-known Estonian authors, the book also contains Pranspill\u2019s own creations, an anonymous piece of writing \u2018The dictatorship of the proletariat\u2019, an excerpt of Tartu Peace Treaty, folk songs, riddles and proverbs.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tAndres Pranspill died in New Haven, Connecticut, at the age of 80.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n
