Gustav Suits

Gustav Suitsu, meie parima luuletaja ja teadlase sünnist saab 30. nov. 1983 sada aastat, Fr. R. Kreutzwaldi omast 180, "Kalevipoja" rahvaväljaande ilmumisest 120. Nende meie rahvale oluliste tähtpäevade tähistamiseks ilmub Gustav Suitsu teos "Noor Kreutzwald". See on asjalik uurimus ja ühtlasi põnev, peaaegu romaanitaoline jutustus meie Lauluisa noorusest. Selles kõneldakse Kreutzwaldi vanemaist, ta sünnikohast ja noorusmaadest, ta sidemeist rahvaloominguga, ta okkalisest haridusteest, ta nooruslikest värsiharrastustest, omaaegsest kultuurimiljööst, pikalt ka Tartu Ülikoolist ja Tartust läinud sajandi algupoolel. See on detailselt ning ka laialt olusid-sündmusi haarav kirjeldus, edasi antud Suitsu omapärases, otse ilukirjanduslikus stiilis. Raamat on kaunistatud paljude piltidega.

Matthews summarises the journey as follows: 'Here is a writer whose curriculum vitae has been the story of his country's struggle for independence, the achievement and sane enjoyment of this, and its recent complicated loss', this latter a reference to Soviet rule and domination.… (más)
