Uģis Mežavilks Jā, es labi atceros vēl; Tu mūžam un allaž biji tāds – Dziļš un noslēpumains, un melns, Nepieejams, bruņojies staignēm, Un visus baidošs no sevis prom. Tikai notālēm vien es varēju sēdēt Un drūmi vientuļā skaistumā vērties. Ar meža ūdensputniem tu draudzējies vien, Kas no tālienes atskrien un aizskrien tāli Kā tevis sūtītās domas un ilgas. Apkārt tev zilruda rāva mirdz Draudošās krāsās kā zobens un varš; Aug vaivariņš, reibušu darīdams galvu, Aug sīki krūmiņi, govis vezdami maldā. Un garas zāles un mānoši sausnējas sūnas – Paļaujies vien un kāju uz cinīti cel – Visi audzēji rijīgo muklāju sedz Un tos, kas paļāvušies uz gludo ceļu. Ko tu tā gaini visus, kā sargādams ko? Baidošs reizē un vilinošs tomēr, Nemīlīgs, noslēdzies ezers guļ, Viņpusē paceļas kalns ar skaistu muižu, Bet ezers ir viens un viens. 1906 Leons Briedis dzīves laikā varam tikai tuvoties – reizēm pienākt tam pavisam klāt un ieraudzīt, kā šā ZAĻĀ ZELTA ezera pašā dzelmē guļ mūsu sirds.

Misiunas, Yale University Rein Taagepera, University of California, Irvine In 1983 we published a book entitled The Baltic States: Years of Depen- dence 1940-1980. ~ The present article represents an update chapter which re- views the years 1980-1986. Compared to the late 1970s and the early 1980s, a period of stagnation, 1987 was a singularly difficult time for writing recent Soviet and Baltic history. CPSU General Secretary Mikhail Gorbachev was trying to overcome the general stagnation in which the Soviet Union found itself, and the outcome of his increasingly dramatic effort remains uncertain. Hence, the historical perspective for our interpretation of recent events is missing. Will economic and techno- logical growth in the USSR be achieved without appreciable political changes, or will liberalization be the price for technological progress? If liberalization is needed, will Gorbachev be able to pay the price, or will he maintain the past mix of authoritarian and totalitarian features even at the cost of continued economic stagnation? If Gorbachev chooses liberalization, will more conservative bureau- cratic forces eventually topple him? If the Soviet leadership opts for continued economic stagnation, will the Soviet population continue to be submissive indefinitely? As before, Baltic history in the 1980s continues to depend on the interplay of local aspirations with decisions made in Moscow.

The publishing of books in Latvian became popular only in the last decades of the nineteenth century, and before the First World War many publishing houses were established. The first Latvian independence period saw the publishing of a wide variety of books. The largest number of books appeared in 1936, when 1,601 titles were published in four million copies in total (making an average print run of 2,500 copies per title). In 1940, one year before the occupation of Latvia, there were almost five hundred publishing houses in the country.

  • Pontes Ad Fontes – Bridges to Sources
    Studia Metrica et Poetica 2.2, 2015, 146–151 Pontes ad Fontes – Bridges to Sources Kadri Novikov, Anni Arukask The 2015 Colloquium Balticum took place at the University of Tartu from 5 to 7 November. This annual colloquium first held in 2001 at Lund University, has continued to bring together Antiquity scholars from Sweden, Germany, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Finland and Russia. While participants come mainly from classical studies, researchers from a variety of disciplines have also recognised the conference’s merit. Over the years, the programme has addressed disciplines such as philosophy, Greek and Latin literature, as well as, for instance, the Greek and Latin education or the influences of ancient mythology in contemporary literature. The delivered papers are authored by both recognised scholars and by MA- and PhD-students presenting their first academic achievements. The subtitle of this year’s Colloquium Balticum XIV Tartuense was Pontes ad fontes (Bridges to Sources), aiming to draw attention to methodological questions in researching Classical Antiquity and reception of ancient culture. As expressed in the conference invitation, a wide variety of activities could be considered Pontes (Bridges) to Antiquity: discovery, interpretation, transla- tion, commentaries and teaching of ancient heritage. This subtitle offered an opportunity to include papers on poetry and poetics, methods and possibili- ties of textual analysis, themes and forms of ancient poetry in contemporary literature, and so on. We will give a short overview of such papers presented during the eight sessions on the colloquium in Tartu. During the first session on 5 November, Anna Strode from the University of Latvia discussed the themes of 17th century occasional poetry in Riga and their relation to the history of Livonia.

One should note that the Latvian art scene, especially visual arts, and entitled “North by to a lesser extent literature, went through a period of disorientation during the Northeast” socialist years, with its attempts to instrumentalise arts by preferring one kind of esthetics and prohibiting another. Thus, resistance became a driving force for art and artists for a significant amount of time. Having a language that has ancient roots but is nowadays spoken by only two million people is another key factor for developments in Latvian culture. On the one hand, it could have made our poets and writers less heard for wider audi- ences, on the other hand – cherishing the language and seeing it as an endan- gered cultural value has been a powerful impulse for creative work.

  • Latvian Authors & Illustrators Catalogue
    Latvian Authors & Illustrators Catalogue www.latvianliterature.lv ...we began to work on the catalogue, in which twenty well- known Latvian writers of children’s literature were asked to write a chapter about a HORSE. The authors of these stories were then paired with twenty talented illustrators. We decided to do a little experiment – it is not often that authors and illustrators find each other by lottery. To be honest, we relied on the professionalism of everyone involved. If there is one art where it is crucial for artists to collaborate and consider the emotions of their counterparts, then it is the art of children’s book illustration.
