\n\tWerner Bergengruen (Werner Max Oskar Paul Bergengruen, 16 September 1892 \u2013 4 September 1964) was a German prose writer and poet who sometimes used the Baltic subject matter in his creation.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n \n\tHe was born in Riga and attended school in Riga and L\u00fcbeck, started studies of theology at the University of Marburg, later studied Germanistics and art history. During World War I, he served in the Baltische Landeswehr<\/em>. After the war, he settled in Germany where he became a journalist and writer. During World War II, he went to Tirol and from there to Z\u00fcrich and Rome. From 1958, he lived in Baden-Baden where he also died. He is buried in the Hauptfriedhof of Baden-Baden.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n \n\tHe began to write prose in the 1920s. Historical subject matter, metaphysical and religious themes prevail in his creation. As Nazis rose to power, political themes became more frequent in his books. The novel Der Grosstyrann und das Gericht<\/em> (\u2018The Grand Tyrant and the Judgment\u2019, 1935), which is considered his main work, concentrates on the problems of power and justice in Renaissance Italy, although it was read as an allegory of the contemporary situation in Nazi Germany.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n \n\tBergrengruen\u2019s novel Im Himmel wie auf Erden<\/em> (\u2018On Earth as it is in Heaven\u2019, 1940) was published in Estonian translation in 2013. The action of this humanist historical novel takes place in 16th-century Berlin, among other events, it describes the demise of the Western Slavic Wendic people under Germans\u2019 oppression. The Baltic themes are used in Bergengruen\u2019s collection of stories Der Tod von Reval<\/em> (\u2018Death in Tallinn\u2019, 1939, Estonian translation Surm Tallinnas, 1966) which to some extent can be classified as horror fiction and which entwines death, bizarre and less bizarre situations and black humour. The action of the story collection Poplavkin ja teised jutud<\/em> (\u2018Poplavkin and Other Stories\u2019, 2019) is set in the Russian Empire in the 19th century.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n \n\tA.
