Latvian writer (1901-1950) · Latvia · On the map · Writers · Died at 48
Aleksandrs Čaks [ɑ.lɛk.sɑndrs tʃɑks], was a Latvian poet and writer. Čaks is arguably the first Latvian writer whose works are distinctly urban, compared to the usual depictions of country life or small villages in earlier Latvian literature.
Aleksandrs Čaks is read about 14 times a day, in 23 languages.
A typical day, 30 days to 3 November 2026
The middle day of the days counted, so one week of news cannot move it. The line under it is the last 144 days, one point a day.
