\n\tAarne Biin started to publish short prose in 1966, but the major part of his creation appeared after Estonia regained independence. His works concentrate on male characters whose twists and turns in life and searches for themselves are depicted in depth in various areas of life in the framework of the era. The scene of his books is set in both Soviet and present-day Estonia with flashbacks into the more distant past. Often, the instigators of the protagonists\u2019 searches and findings are female characters. War-time choices and life courses are observed in novels using documentary sources \u2013 Peegelleitnandid<\/em> (\u2018Mirror Lieutenants\u2019, 2001) and Ruts: s\u00f5jas ja vangis, armastuses ja abielus<\/em> (\u2018Ruts: in War and Prison, in Love and Marriage\u2019, 2009). The theme of his home county, Virumaa, has been applied in the novel Lossi peremehed<\/em> (\u2018Lords of the Castle\u2019, 2016). His creation also includes pure thrillers, for example, Venemaalt armastuseta<\/em> (\u2018From Russia Without Love\u2019, 2003) and K\u00f5ikide saladuste v\u00f5ti<\/em> (\u2018Key to All Secrets\u2019, 2004).<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

In 1998, the novel Sarm<\/em> (\u2018Charm\u2019, published under the title Sarmikas m\u00f5tleja<\/em> \u2013 \u2018Charming Thinker\u2019 \u2013 <\/span><\/span><\/span>in 2001) and in 2000 the novel Kuningvesi<\/em> (\u2018Aqua Regia\u2019) deserved honorary mention.
