A pure coincidence
Not so long ago and by pure chance, I got my hands on two books and coincidentally both were by one of Estonia's most respected contemporary poets and writers Viivi Luik. Her work is very popular with readers around the world - it has been translated into many languages. The author has received a number of prestigious awards, the most esteemed of which is the Estonian Order of the White Star 3rd class. These two books ‘The Beauty of History’ (published in 1991) and ‘Shadow Theatre ‘ or ‘Schattenspiel’ (Varjuteater, 2010) can be found here in the Czech Republic, although only in English and German: Both these novels have been classified as classic Nordic fiction.Mrs. Luik, I believe that a third novel should be included with these two novels of yours as being part of your key texts. The book was published in 1985 under the title ‘The Seventh Spring of Peace’ (Seitsmes rahukevad). Would you agree?
