\n\tAbout K\u00e4bi Laretei<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

\n\tK\u00e4bi Alma Laretei (14. VII 1922 \u2013 31. X 2014, Stockholm) was a pianist and prose writer of Estonian origin who lived in Sweden and wrote in Swedish, but concentrated greatly on her Estonian roots in her writing.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tShe was born in Tartu into the family of the diplomat Heinrich Laretei. She began her music studies at the Tallinn Conservatoire; from 1940 she was a refugee in Sweden at her parents\u2019 home. In Sweden she took private lessons in music, and then continued her studies in Switzerland, where she graduated from the Basel Conservatoire in 1947. She began her concert career in 1946 in Stockholm, achieving international recognition as a pianist. From 1959 to 1969 she was married to the Swedish film director Ingmar Bergman, on whose films she collaborated musically (Autumn Sonata, 1978), as well as playing some minor roles (Fanny and Alexander, 1982). She was also a member of the Swedish Writers\u2019 Union. She died in Stockholm.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tIn 1970 she began her writing career in Swedish periodicals, initially writing short stories, which later appeared in a book, Vem spelar jag f\u00f6r?<\/em> (\u2018For Whom Am I Playing?\u2019). That book became K\u00e4bi Laretei\u2019s literary debut.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe main theme in Laretei\u2019s work is exile and the search for roots: identity, along with memories of pre-war Estonia. Her works glow with the compositional flourishes of musicals and films. One subject that she treats in her autobiographical works is the vocation and freedom of the artist, the passion of art. The inspiring influence of Ingmar Bergman can be seen here. The tragic events of history which affected K\u00e4bi Laretei\u2019s personal life are constantly reflected in her literary work.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tMost of K\u00e4bi Laretei\u2019s works have been translated into Estonian.<\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n
