E-text prepared by Anna Siren and Tapio Riikonen "Nuori-Viro: Muotokuvia ja suuntaviivoja" by Aino Kallas is a comprehensive account of Estonian culture and literature written in the early 20th century. The work explores the emergence and evolution of the "Noor-Eesti" (Young Estonia) movement and its impact on Estonian identity, emphasizing the struggle for a contemporary cultural expression devoid of past constraints. Key figures such as poet Gustav Suits and writer Friedebert Tuglas emerge, reflecting on the challenges of establishing a unique cultural identity amidst external influences. The opening of the publication introduces the context of Estonia's turbulent history and geographical significance, positioning it as a cultural crossroads burdened by the weight of historical conquests. It highlights the urgent need for a cultural renaissance in response to societal chaos and the struggle against various dominant cultures, particularly German and Russian influences. This section underscores the aspirations of a new generation to connect with broader European cultural currents, as well as the complexities and contradictions inherent in the Estonian quest for cultural and linguistic independence.
