Abstract
Jānis Rainis (pseud.; Jānis Plieksāns, 1865-1929), the eminent Latvian writer, dramatist and poet as well as critic and translator, philosopher, lawyer, and statesman entered the Latvian literary scene as editor of the liberal newspaper Dienas Lapa , in which he promoted the New Current movement. As a result of the paper's as well as his own political leanings toward Marxism (which he later outgrew), Rainis was arrested and sent to exile in Siberia, from where he returned in 1903 and published his first collection of verse, Tālās noskaņas zilā vakarā (Distant Echoes in a Blue Evening), which was very well received for its artistic value. Rainis thus started his career as a writer.
