\n\tAbout Ahto Levi<\/span><\/strong><\/a>\n<\/p>\n

Ahto Levi (real name Levi Lippu, 18 June 1931 \u2013 20 January 2006) was a prose writer of Estonian origin who wrote in Russian. His autobiographical novel about life in the prison camp, Halli Hundi p\u00e4evik<\/em> (\u2018Gray Wolf\u2019s Diary\u2019, 1968), enjoyed immense popularity.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tLevi was born in Saaremaa Island and attended the primary schools of Kaali and Kuressaare from 1938\u20131944. In 1944, he was conscripted to the auxiliary service of the German Air Force and ended up in Germany from where he returned to Estonia in 1947. He spent the years 1948\u20131963 in prison camps; he fled repeatedly and was detained for that in the prisons and camps of Tomsk, Kaluga and Kirovograd. After being released, he lived in Moldova. From 1965\u20131967, he worked on geological expeditions in the Carpathians and, from 1967\u20131968, as a fisherman in Sakhalin.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tIn 1968, his autobiographical novel \u0417\u0430\u043f\u0438\u0441\u043a\u0438 \u0421\u0435\u0440\u043e\u0433\u043e \u0412\u043e\u043b\u043a\u0430<\/em> (\u2018Gray Wolf\u2019s Diary\u2019), written in Russian, was published in Moscow. The novel was written in prison camps. From that time onwards, Levi lived in Moscow as a freelance writer. The novel appeared in Estonian in the same year. It was translated into 16 languages, for example, Latvian, Finnish, German, Georgian, Slovak, Hungarian, Czech, Ukrainian, Bulgarian, Polish, and Moldovan. Based on the novel, the Mosfilm studio produced the film \u0412\u043e\u0441\u0432\u0440\u0430\u0449\u0435\u043d\u0438\u0435 \u043a \u0436\u0438\u0437\u043d\u0438<\/em> (\u2018Return to Life\u2019) in 1971. His following novels were Fortuna\u2019s Smile (1973), Running from One\u2019s Shadow (1979, in Latvian in 1989) and On Halfway (1988) on the theme of Tartu. The two latter were written in Tartu. The novel Such a Funny King (1988) speaks about the author\u2019s childhood. None of those novels except \u2018Gray Wold\u2019s Diary\u2019 has been published in Estonian. In 1996, the novel Valdemor: lugu varaste elust<\/em> (\u2018Valdemor: A Story about the Life of Thieves\u2019) was published in Tallinn.\n<\/p>\n

\n\tAt the end of his life, Ahto Levi lived intermittently in Tartu and Moscow; he died in Moscow.\n<\/p>\n
