Críticas:
He's a marvellous novelist - his scope and depth make him a world writer - and they should just hurry up and give him the Nobel (Doris Lessing.)
He deserved a Nobel prize and would probably have got it had he written in any other language but Estonian (Neil Taylor Guardian.)
He's almost alone in writing in the older European tradition of the large-scale historical novel. I'd argue that Kross is heir to the 'great' Russo-European 19th century novelists; his fiction has Tolstoyan sweep. On reading him, moreover, we rediscover that Estonia was always resolutely in Europe and not some obscure outpost this side of the Urals (Fiona Sampson.)
No stranger to oppression himself, Kross writes about it with a poignancy devoid of anger (Adam Zamoyski.)

Jaan Kross' first major novel dramatises the life of the renowned Livonian/Estonian Chronicler Balthasar Russow, Livonian Chronicle describes the effects of the Livonian War on the peasantry of what is now Estonia.
For all his subsequent eminence, Russow was born the humble son of a peasant, and Between Three Plagues, chronicles his rise. As a boy, his thirst for knowledge is supported by his father, and good fortune allows him to study in various German universities, returning to Tallinn as a German-speaking clergyman.
As Livonia continues to be used as a political football by the warring powers of Russia, Sweden, Poland and Lithuania, Russow continues to climb the slippery pole of power and influence. Like Hilary Mantel's Thomas Cromwell, he is a diamond in the rough, a thoroughly modern man in an Early Modern world, achieving greatness through wit and learning alone.
