This play by August Kitzberg is a classic of Estonian literature. It depicts rural life in the nineteenth century, focusing on folklore and social tensions. The language reflects the era, featuring archaic spelling and vocabulary that may challenge modern learners. The sentences are often descriptive and dialogue based, capturing the rhythm of everyday speech from that time. Reading this text provides insight into historical Estonian culture, though the older linguistic forms require careful attention to detail and patience from the reader.

Questions about this book
What level of Estonian do I need for this book?
The estimate is A2, based on how common the words are and how long the sentences run. It is an approximation, not a test result. With a translation under every sentence you can start one level earlier than you would with a paper copy.
Is this book really free?
Yes. The text is in the public domain and comes from Project Gutenberg, so it costs nothing. In Lingo7 you open the book and read the first page for free; a subscription unlocks the whole library, the audio and the word practice.
How does reading with a translation work?
Lingo7 shows the original sentence and, right under it, the same sentence in your language. Tap a word to see what it means, hear it, and save it for practice. The translation is made while you read, so it works for any book and for 49 languages.
How long does it take to read?
About 1 h 1 min at a native pace, spread over 5 chapters. In a foreign language plan for more: half an hour a day finishes a book of this size in a few weeks.
