Life

Aristarchus Sinkel went in Võru to school and then studied at the Tartu University Law . After graduating in 1935, he was unemployed for a while.

Aristarch Sinkel published his first texts in the late 1940s and made his debut in 1950 with a play. However, he gained greater fame with the historical novel Under the Yoke of the Black Cross (1956), which is a broad panorama of the prehistory and course of the uprising on St. George's Night of 1343. The novel was well received by the critics, but could not come close to its famous predecessors - such as Eduard Bornhöhe , who dealt with the same topic, or Eduard Vilde . His second historical novel takes place during the Great Northern War and was praised for the realistic depiction of the rural population, while in places it was also accused of historical inaccuracy. The third novel, Lembitu , is set in the 13th century and initially remained a manuscript. It was published posthumously in 2008.

In addition, Sinkel published some volumes with humoresques and feature articles.
