\n\tAbout Jaan K\u00e4rner<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/strong>\n<\/p>\n

\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

\n\tJaan K\u00e4rner (27. V 1891 \u2013 3. IV 1958) was one of the most prolific authors in the history of Estonian literature, publishing poetry, prose, criticism and literary studies.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tK\u00e4rner was born in R\u00f5ngu parish in Tartu county, the son of the owner of Kinksepa farm in the village of K\u00e4o. From 1901 to 1906 he attended Uderna primary school, and in 1911-1912 and 1914 he studied at the faculty of history at Shanyavsky university in Moscow. From 1910 to 1917 he worked in the editorial offices of several newspapers. After the February Revolution K\u00e4rner entered politics on the left wing (as a member of the Estonian Independent Socialist Workers\u2019 Party) and edited left-wing newspapers. In 1921 he settled in Elva as a professional writer; from 1936 to 1941 he lived in Tartu. From 1927 to 1929 he was the editor of the journal Looming<\/em>. In 1940 K\u00e4rner supported Estonia\u2019s incorporation into the Soviet Union. From 1940 to 1941 he worked at the Ilukirjandus ja Kunst publishing house. After the outbreak of the Second World War K\u00e4rner moved away from the German occupation, behind the Soviet front line. From 1944 to 1946 he worked again in publishing and as the editor of Looming<\/em>. In 1946 K\u00e4rner succumbed to mental illness, and spent the last 12 years of his life in Tartu, unable to work and cared for by his family.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tIt is his poetry that has stood the test of time best out of Jaan K\u00e4rner\u2019s work. The best of his lyrics have taken their place among the classics of Estonian poetry. They are profound, sensitive to nature and written with a respect for the permanent values of life and the expressiveness of the Estonian language. K\u00e4rner had a good command of the poetic forms originating in the Romantic period. His collections of poetry from the Second World War are passionately propagandistic and superficial. Altogether Jaan K\u00e4rner published 12 collections of poetry, 10 novels, four plays, three books of criticism and three studies of theatre history as well as numerous articles in periodicals. His most outstanding books of poetry are the collections L\u00f5ikuskuu<\/em> (\u2018Harvest Month\u2019, 1925) and R\u00e4ndur vilistab<\/em> (\u2018The Wanderer Whistles\u2019, 1928) as well as the verse novel Bianka ja Ruth<\/em> (\u2018Bianka and Ruth\u2019, 1923). Of K\u00e4rner\u2019s novels, those of most enduring value are Soodoma kroonika<\/em> (\u2018Chronicle of Sodom\u2019, 1934) about life in a small town, and the proto-feminist Naine vaesest maailmast<\/em> (\u2018Woman From a Poor World\u2019, 1930).<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tJaan K\u00e4rner was a prolific translator of the classics of German and Russian literature (Schiller, Goethe, Heine, Fontane, Griboyedov, Pushkin, Krylov, Chukovsky, Chekhov, Tolstoy and others).<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n
