No wonder that a greater part of the roughly one million Estonians had harshly eventful lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis anthology contains 25 selected life stories collected from Estonians who lived through the tribulations of the 20th century, and describe the travails of ordinary people under numerous regimes. The autobiographical accounts provide authentic perspectives on events of this period, where time is placed in the context of life-spans, and subjects grounded in personal experience. Most of the life stories reveal sufferings under foreign (Russian) oppression.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe volume is the product of a large-scale national project to record history by collecting autobiographical accounts, and a process of engaged selection for publication which followed. The variety of life-experiences recorded offers comparison across cultures, as well as an overview of the powerful neighbors as they relinquish and strengthen their hold on Estonia.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rutt Hinrikus\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9639776394\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789639776395\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Central European University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 554\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.50w x 1.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2009 pg. 48","brand":"Rutt Hinrikus","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44079675670783,"sku":"9789639776395","price":121.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_03964bb2-fa57-4705-8c6a-ffe12cca1ab4.jpg?v=1685482496","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/estonian-life-stories-tiina-kirss-9789639776395","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
