As opposed to the recent nature of written literature, the oral tradition, found in collections of Estonian folklore, tells of the ancient pre-Northern Crusades period of independence. Peterson's translation of Ganander's dictionary found many readers in Estonia and abroad, becoming an important source of national ideology and inspiration for early Estonian literature. His five volume epic novel Tõde ja Õigus (Truth and Justice, 1926–1933) is considered one of the major works of Estonian literature.[12] Other prominent prose writers were August Mälk (1900–1987), Karl Ristikivi (1912–1977). After the Second World War Estonian literature was split in two for almost half a century. ^ Jaan Kross at Estonian Literature information Center ^ Jaan Kaplinski at Estonian Literature information Center	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-2223.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-2223.txt
