Geocache Description:


[ENG] Cache is hidden near the house, where August Gailit was born. Residents of the house know about it.

August Gailit (1891 – 1960) was an Estonian writer of Latvian/Estonian origin. From 1911 until 1914 he worked as a journalist in today's Latvia and Estonia in 1916 until 1918.
With the Soviet occupation of Estonia, Gailit fled with his family in September 1944 to Sweden, where he worked as a writer. They settled in the Ormesta manor house near Örebro. He died there on 5 November 1960 and was buried at the Örebro northern cemetery.

Until the middle of the 1920s Gailit was strongly influenced by neo-romanticism. Oswald Spengler and Knut Hamsun also exerted great influence in his work. His famous novel Toomas Nipernaadi (which was made into a movie in 1983) describes the romantic and adventurous life of a vagabond.

[EST] Eesti kirjandusklassiku August Gailiti (1891‒1960) elu on mõneti sama salapärane kui tema looming. Gailitile meeldis oma elu müstifitseerida ning üldiselt vältis ta kõnelusi oma isiku teemal. Kui temalt paluti elulookirjeldust teatmikule “Eesti avalikud tegelased”, saatis ta vastuseks postkaardi, kus soovitas enda kohta andmeid küsida politseijaoskonnast. Muide, see ei olnudki lihtsalt nali. Politseiga oli Gailitil lõbusas nooruseas tegemist rohkem kui korra. (visit link)
