About the author

Rainis (the pseudonym of Jānis Pliekšāns) was a Latvian poet, playwright, translator, and politician. Rainis' works include the classic plays Uguns un nakts (Fire and Night, 1905) and Indulis un Ārija (Indulis and Ārija, 1911), and a highly regarded translation of Goethe's Faust. His works had a profound influence on the literary Latvian language, and the ethnic symbolism he employed in his major works has been central to Latvian nationalism.

Ideja par Saules spēku modināt cilvēci tik skaista! Vēl skaistāka - ideja par latvju Saules tautu. Idejas, idejas...

[Linda Vismane · Rating 2 out of 5]

Tematikas ziņā līdzīga “Daugavai”, saule - spēks, tautas virzītāja, augšāmcēlēja. Likās mazliet izstiepts darbs, daži dzejoļi pēc būtības gandrīz vienādi. Dod cerību, ka gaisma tomēr uzvarēs tumsu.
