Ignace Lepp
Ignace Lepp (original name: John Robert Lepp) (October 26 1908, Orajõe, Pärnu county, Estonia - May 29 1966) was actually born in a ship in the Baltic Sea (since he was the son of the captain of a ship) and lived in it with his mother and brother until he was five years old. Living in France at the age of 15 he joined the communist party after reading "The Mother" of Maxim Gorki, novel which made a very big impression on him and led him to change his individualistic manners as he himself recalls in his autobiography "From Marx to Christ".
