He studied at Haapsalu Secondary School No 1. In 1949, P\u00fcvi was deported to Siberia with his mother. In Russia, he continued his studies in secondary school and from 1953\u20131956 studied at the Novosibirsk Physical Education College. After returning to Estonia, he entered Tartu State University where he studied at the Faculty of History and Philology from 1963\u20131966. P\u00fcvi worked as a teacher at several schools in J\u00f5geva district and the town of Paldiski and, for a longer period, from 1965\u20131975, at Puiatu special boarding school in Viljandi district. His last job was to be an administrator at the Estonian Drama Theatre in Tallinn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>P\u00fcvi had started trying his hand at literature in Siberia. His first youth stories and topical satires were published in Estonia in the 1960s. P\u00fcvi\u2019s satirical sketches won prizes in satire competitions and were translated into Russian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Ukrainian, Polish, Moldavian, German and Hungarian. During P\u00fcvi\u2019s lifetime, his collection of satirical sketches <em>Vilistav eesel<\/em> (\u2018Whistling Donkey\u2019, 1975) was published as a book. The collection of miniatures <em>Peeglike seinal<\/em> (\u2018Mirror on the Wall\u2019, 1976) and the collection of short stories <em>Elu\u00f5igusm\u00e4ng<\/em> \u201cThe Game of Right to Life\u201d (1977) were published after his death. The short story collection reflects the author\u2019s observations from special boarding schools where he worked as a teacher and warden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A characteristic feature of P\u00fcvi\u2019s creation is his warm attitude towards the fate of simple people. He condemns violence and is deeply humanistic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>L. P. (Translated by I.
