Tammsaare, A. H. (Anton Hansen), 1878-19402018
Books, Manuscripts
The newly independent Estonia may be moving forward from its dark past, but not quickly enough for young lovers Oskar, an Estonian university student, and Erika, a Baltic German descended from a now defunct nobility. The old prejudices remain strong between the Baltic Germans and the Estonians who once worked on their estates. After meeting Erika's grandfather to request her hand in marriage, Oskar questions the source of his love: Does he really love Erika as a person, or is he subconsciously drawn to her ancestry and the dynamics of the old order?
