The newly independent Estonia may be moving forward from its dark
past, but not quickly enough for young lovers Oskar, an Estonian
university student, and Erika, a Baltic German descended from a now
defunct nobility. The old prejudices remain, and they are strong
between the Baltic Germans and the Estonians who once worked on
their estates. After meeting Erika's grandfather to request her
hand in marriage, Oskar questions the source of his love: is he
merely a slave pining after his master? Does he really love Erika
as a person, or is he subconsciously drawn to her ancestry and the
dynamics of the old order? Published in 1935, I Loved a German is
one of the final and best-known works of celebrated Estonian author
A.H. Tammsaare. It has been praised for its psychological realism,
its diary format and its rare Baltic German perspective, and has
been adapted for both stage and screen.
