Rendition Conducive To Books Mees, kes teadis ussisõnu
Ussisõnade oskamine ei tähenda teoses ainult metsarahva looduse mõistmist, vaid ka võimu ja valitsemist selle asukate üle. Need tarkused võtab Leemet lapsepõlves üle oma onu Vootelelt. Kogu Leemeti elu käib aga heitlus maailma mõistliku tajumise üle – ühel pool end poolearuliseks loitsinud hiiekummardajad, teisel pool silmakirjalikud kristluse kummardajad, kes on ka ise kõik endised metsaasukad, koos raudmeeste ja munkadega. Väheseid huvitab, mis ümbruses tegelikult toimub. Tasapisi metsaasundus siiski hääbub ning selle tarkust, juuri ja Põhja Konna jääb hoidma ainult Leemet – viimane mees, kes teadis ussisõnu.Declare Based On Books Mees, kes teadis ussisõnu

Andrés Kivirahk, an Estonian writer, wrote an enchanting jewel of a story! The only thing that might have made it better.... Would to have included illustrations. "The Man Who Spoke Snakish", definitely has an adult fairy tale feeling to it. ... (Dark/light/Funny/Sad......eternal love of nature and purpose). Leemet, the main protagonist, is a simple boy... Who was born in the village...but can't remember it. His mother moved he and his older sister back to the forest after his dad died. Lots of**I received a copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review**The Man Who Spoke Snakish is an adult fantasy tale. I stress the adult part of that description because it has its moments of violence and gore, as well as coarse language. It was an adult fairy tale and I loved it so much. The book is set in medieval Estonia and takes place in both a forest and a nearby village. The main character, Leemet, lives in the forest and follows the old ways of those who
So very Estonian in the most primal way possible.
I have such mixed feelings about this book, which is quite unique and which juxtaposes organized religious beliefs with empirical knowledge, modernized agrarian community versus that in a more hunter/gatherer forest-dwelling lifestyle that is in touch with nature and less driven by appearances. The clash of cultures is interesting in the first part of the book but starts to feel very heavy-handed, if not brutal, in the second half. (I'm not saying the brutal clash between paganism and the
The Man Who Spoke Snakish is a book by an Estonian author Andrus Kivirahk and it was translated into English only in 2015. This has been an unexpectedly difficult read for me because this book turned out to be very sad, melancholic and cruel as well.If this book sounds interesting to you, you probably ought to know that bears are lusting after women in this one and women sleep with them because they're fluffy, there are lots of unwarranted cruelty and insanity, mixing obvious sexual attraction
I can say with absolute confidence that this is the best Estonian fantasy book I've ever read.This book is about a boy named Leemet living in the Estonian forest, where he (and all the other Estonian forest-dwellers) speak the language of snakes. Snakes, being the wisest animals of the forest, are able to control all the other animals (except insects, who dont have enough of a brain to understand Snakish). So the people of Estonia dont have to hunt they can just command a deer come over here in
