*Amazon does not support all the Lithuanian letters - notabley "z with a hook" "e with a dot." The book itself DOES contain these letters.* Born to impoverished gentry, Zemaite became one of the major participants in the Lithuanian National Revival. She wrote about the peasants and their way of life in a vernacular that closely resembled the language spoken by them - lively and rich in vocabulary. Her works are usually dark as she depicts poverty, materialism, and arguments within a family. The author paints natural images of everyday life with petty conflicts, lively conversations, impoverished surroundings, and beautiful nature. This volume includes some of her most famous stories including: Marti, Sutkai, and Petras Keumelis.
