Let's make this birthday one to remember.

53 years old (Born on July 17, 1971)

Happy Birthday, Aarne Ruben! May your day whistle joyfully rather than mournfully—unlike the Volta Works. Your novels have transported us from industrial melancholy to medieval intrigue, proving that no beast on any landing can match your literary prowess.

Your storytelling continues to captivate readers far beyond Estonia's borders. Whether exploring historical depths or crafting unforgettable characters, you always keep us turning pages eagerly. Here's hoping this year brings even more inspiration and success—and perhaps fewer beasts lurking in stairwells!

Cheers to another timeless chapter filled with laughter and creativity; may it be as memorable as your finest works!
