Eduard Brunberg (– 17 November 1923), known by the pen name Eduard Bornhöhe, was an Estonian writer.
Bornhöhe is generally considered a pioneer of the genre of the Estonian historical novel, as the majority of his creations consist of romanticism-influenced historical adventure stories.
A historical story, set during the time of the St. George's Night Uprising. Widely considered the best story of Bornhöhe.
Another historical story set during the time of the St. George's Night Uprising. More realistic and less naïve than Tasuja, with more sophisticated characters.
A satirical series of contemporary cranks.
This historical story, best known through the movie adaptation Viimne reliikvia (Estonian for The last relic), is set during a peasant uprising in the era of the Livonian War. Due to Czarist censorship, this remained Bornhöhe's last historical story.
A travel diary.
A realist short novel.
In 1893, the Russian Empire's censor prohibited publication of historical stories. This led to the eventual withdrawal of Bornhöhe from writing. Notably, he didn't publish any books during the last twenty years of his life.
Since Bornhöhe's preferred topic was Estonia's ancient fight for freedom rather than more complex or more polemical subjects, Soviets generally found his writings useful, and presented them as examples of pre-Soviet patriotism. Vürst Gabriel ehk Pirita kloostri viimased päevad was made into a movie, the first part of Tallinna narrid ja narrikesed was repeatedly published and adapted for TV under Soviet occupation, and Bornhöhe's historical novels were constantly in lists of mandatory reading in Soviet Estonian schools.
