His personal and family life

edit

According to the article, most of Raudive's life is concentrated on the last years before his death. Whatever happened prior to the end of the 1960's? Someone also added this article to the "Latvian people stubs", but all we know is that he was born in Latvia. Does he have any affiliation with Latvia?

He was not only born in Latvia, but after studying abroad, he was influential in intellectual circles in Latvia in the 1930s. For example, he was important for transmitting the ideas of José Ortega y Gasset in Latvia. Like his wife, Zenta Mauriņa, he also wrote in the genres of essay and short story. He also was a culture editor for a wartime newspaper in Daugavpils, and active in the cultural circles of Latvian émigrés in the West after WWII. —Zalktis (talk) 14:32, 30 November 2008 (UTC)Reply
He also translated works of Cervantes and Miguel de Unamuno into Latvian. —Zalktis (talk) 14:35, 30 November 2008 (UTC)Reply
Thanks for the elaboration. That makes the article a keeper for WikiProject Latvia. Talk/♥фĩłдωəß♥\Work 17:51, 30 November 2008 (UTC)Reply
