Forgive me for forgetting if you told me, but did you get through the first and second volumes?<br /><br />Also glad that I did NOT 'cull' Trieste, which I had never been sure about reading.

I first learned of Jaan Kross from Lembit Beecher, who, in the course of telling me about his Mom’s work of translating The Ropewalkers into English, recommended the Czar’s Madman. On seeing your post, I went straight to my bookshelf to pull out that book, only to find I had passed it on so it can be read by others. Praise be, indeed, to presses that bring us translations of books like the ones you note, and also to the able and dedicated translators, like Merike Lepasaar Beecher, without which these translations would not exist.Susan Scheidhttps://prufrocksdilemma.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1248503935075362425.post-9446435476389423542018-12-07T18:47:25.072+00:002018-12-07T18:47:25.072+00:00Three cheers for Harvill and then MacLehose Press....Three cheers for Harvill and then MacLehose Press.

The Czar's Madman was translated into Czech but The Ropewalker was not (I happened to get a German translation as a birthday present - "Das Leben des Balthasar Rüssow"- which is why I am aware of the author).<br />Jannoreply@blogger.com
