Hendrik Lindepuu
Hendrik Lindepuu (born 11 November 1958 in Mõisaküla) is an Estonian translator, poet, and playwright. He has translated mainly from the Polish language.[1]
Lindepuu graduated from high school and began teaching himself Polish from a textbook in 1984.[2] After three years of study, he began publishing translations from Polish into Estonian.
He established his own publishing house, Hendrik Lindepuu Kirjastus, in 2002, due to a lack of interest in translated Polish literature among larger Estonian publishing companies.[2][3] Since 2003, the publishing house has published over 50 books, including works by Czesław Miłosz, Olga Tokarczuk, and Adam Zagajewski.[1][2][4]
