Jaak Sarapuu (born 18 VI 1939) is a prose writer, historian, educationist and publisher.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tSarapuu was born as the son of a farmer in Hargla parish, Valga County. He studied at Valga Secondary School No. 1 in 1954\u20131958 and history at the Faculty of History and Philology at Tartu State University in 1969\u20131975. He graduated from the university by distance learning. In 1961\u20131967 Sarapuu worked as a teacher in Harju and Tartu Counties, in 1969\u20131973 at Viljandi boarding school, in 1973\u20131983 at Viljandi distance learning secondary school, in 1967\u20131969 as an actor at the Ugala theatre, in 1983\u20131984 at Viljandi museum of local history, later again as a teacher in schools of Viljandi County, from 1993 as a publisher in Viljandi.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tSarapuu made his debut in the children\u2019s magazine T\u00e4heke<\/em> in 1963 and picked awards from the story competitions of the journals Noorus<\/em> and Looming<\/em>. Jaak Sarapuu has been a member of the Estonian Writers\u2019 Union from 1989.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tSarapuu has written for both adults and children. His first prose collection was Austusavaldus<\/em> (\u2018Homage\u2019, 1974). The action of the stories of the author, who prefers short forms, usually takes place in village settings. Sarapuu\u2019s short stories depict the village life of the late 20th century and its characteristic problems with photographic precision.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tIn 1980 Sarapuu published his first historical fantasy story for young people \u2013 Taevalindlased ja kirveslased<\/em> (\u2018People of the Sky Bird and the Axe\u2019). This was the beginning of Uru kummalised seiklused<\/em> (\u2018Strange Adventures of Uru\u2019) \u2013 a series of stories on early Estonian history which also includes Imeuhmer<\/em> (\u2018Magic Mortar\u2019, 1993), Lembitu salakuulaja<\/em> (\u2018Lembitu\u2019s Spy\u2019, 1995) and Ohtlik rada<\/em> (\u2018Dangerous Path\u2019, 1998). These stories meant to develop school students\u2019 knowledge of history deal with Estonian history from the Stone Age to the late Middle Ages. Sometimes the author has used folkloric motifs of phantasy and horror in his youth stories.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tJaak Sarapuu has written textbooks of Estonian history and published them. He has also published readers, workbooks, atlases, wall maps and wall charts. Some of them have also been published in Russian and Latvian.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n
