The novel by S. Šaltenis as a work of national dramaturgy is relevant in this period, when the restored Lithuania entered the century. This is a novel that takes you to the Donelai era, close to Klaipėda region historically and geographically.

Many layers intertwine in the novel: the historical past of Lithuania - German colonization, wars with the Russians, bending, the first luminaries: Kristijonas Donelaitis, Martynas Mažvydas, Antanas Strazdas - educators and shepherds of the dark people; tales, fables, superstitions, spells, incantations and witchcraft; echoes of even older myths of matriarchal communities; Fragments and postulates of the Holy Scriptures.

Painter and writer Leonardas Gutauskas said about this novel by S. Šaltenis: "Kalės vaakii" is a cruel miracle, woven with golden threads of light and black dungeons... A book that has never been seen in Lithuanian literature".
