About This Item
Tallin Estonia: Kirjastus Eesti Raamat, 1966 Very attractive book with an arts and crafts look, actually a 1966 reprint of the 1912 novel. Written in Estonian. B/W illustrations plus colour frontispiece and dust jacket. Decorative endpapers with green print stripes. Pea green boards with b/w styllised classroom scene and peach spine with green lettering. Attractive wrap around jacket art in modernised Dickensian style, suitably paralleling the literary style which Kuts, work is said to resemble.It has a Scandinavian look. Title is apparently Estonian for Spring, Luts' first novel. Bookplate on inside front board Edgar Kadak ? cartoon of artist. Pages browning. DJ spine a bit sunned and browned with price tag pull, some edge tears and generally quite brittle from age. Still a very attractive book to look at (or to read if you know Estonian!)
