Tove Jansson

The final volume in the series drawn by Tove Jansson Moomin Book Five: The Complete Tove Jansson Comic Strip features the final strips drawn by Tove Jansson and written by her brother Lars for the London Evening News, before Lars took over both the art and the writing. The first "Moomin Winter" returns with more unwanted guests than in Book One, especially the curious and secret-spilling Nibling, sending the Moomin household into a tizzy of secrecy and closed doors. In "Moomin Under Sail," theMoomins find themselves without a new adventure until Too-Ticky's compass gives them the idea to build a boat and head to sea. Finally, we meet the Fuddler in "Fuddler's Courtship." Mymble captures poor Fuddler's heart, and his bumbling drives her straight into the arms of Dr. Hatter, the local psychiatrist. Delightfully quirky, the Moomin family does not fare well under the gaze of someone trained in correcting odd behavior.

This newly translated collection of stories brilliantly evokes the shifting scenes and restlessness of summer. A professor arrives in a beautiful Spanish village only to find that her host has left and she must cope with fractious neighbours alone; a holiday on a Finnish Island is thrown into disarray when a disconcerting young boy arrives; an artist returns to an old flat to discover that her life has been eerily usurped. Philosophical and profound, but with the deceptive lightness that is her hallmark, Travelling Light is guaranteed to surprise and transport.

Mumifar og Mumidalen lever videre i de tre næste romaner i Tove Janssons vidunderlige romanserie fra Mumidalen. I 1950 udkom “Mumirfars erindringsbog”. Her afslører Mumifar, at han i virkeligheden er et hittebarn, født under helt usædvanlige stjerner og opdraget i Hemulernes strenge børnehjem. I “Farlig midsommer” fra 1954 rammer en mægtig flodbølge Mumidalen, og Mumifamiliens elskede hjem forsvinder i bølgerne. Et besynderligt og mystisk fartøj dukker pludselig op og redder dem. “Troldvinter” fra 1957 afslutter denne samling med historien om det år, da Mumitrolden vågnede af sin vintersøvn midt i den mørkeste vinter og bliver den første Mumitrold, der oplever vinteren. Med forord af Anders Lund Madsen, der er en stor Mumielsker og -kender.

År 2005 var det sextio år sedan den första muminboken utkom. I förordet till faksimilupplagan 1991 berättar Tove Jansson om bokens tillkomst i krigets skugga. Mumindalen och familjen avspeglar drömmen om en paradisisk och fredlig värld, och bär också på minnen från den lyckliga barndomen. Mumintrollet och hans mamma är på vandring för att söka efter den försvunna muminpappan. Det blir en äventyrlig vandring med hotande odjur, en stormig seglats och en stor översvämning innan familjen återförenas och hittar dalen där de sedan bor hela sitt liv - och där muminböckernas nya äventyr utspelar sig. Småtrollen och den stora översvämningen är början på Tove Janssons muminböcker och hela den muminvärld som vid det här laget blivit en internationell företeelse av oanade mått.

A New York Review Books OriginalWinner of the Best Translated Book AwardDeception--the lies we tell ourselves and the lies we tell others--is the subject of this, Tove Jansson's most unnerving and unpredictable novel. Here Jansson takes a darker look at the subjects that animate the best of her work, from her sensitive tale of island life, The Summer Book, to her famous Moomin stories: solitude and community, art and life, love and hate. Snow has been falling on the village all winter long. It covers windows and piles up in front of doors. The sun rises late and sets early, and even during the day there is little to do but trade tales. This year everybody's talking about Katri Kling and Anna Aemelin. Katri is a yellow-eyed outcast who lives with her simpleminded brother and a dog she refuses to name. She has no use for the white lies that smooth social intercourse, and she can see straight to the core of any problem. Anna, an elderly children's book illustrator, appears to be Katri's opposite: a respected member of the village, if an aloof one. Anna lives in a large empty house, venturing out in the spring to paint exquisitely detailed forest scenes. But Anna has something Katri wants, and to get it Katri will take control of Anna's life and livelihood. By the time spring arrives, the two women are caught in a conflict of ideals that threatens to strip them of their most cherished illusions.

In the deep winter snows of a Swedish hamlet, a strange young woman fakes a break-in at the house of an elderly artist in order to persuade her that she needs companionship. But what does she hope to gain by doing this? And who ultimately is deceiving whom? In this portrayal of two women grappling with truth and lies, nothing can be taken for granted. By the time the snow thaws, both their lives will have changed irrevocably.

In a delightful, curious game of what comes next, Moomintroll travels through the woods to get home with milk for Moominmamma. A simple trip turns into a colorful adventure as Moomintroll meets Mymble, who has lost her sister, Little My. Along the way, they endure the hijinks of all the charming characters of the Moomin world, including the Fillijonks and Hattifatteners. Will Moomintroll ever make it home safe and sound? A beautiful and boisterous story by internationally acclaimed children's author Tove Jansson, this picture book is sure to tickle the fancies of parents and kids as well as Moomintroll fans everywhere

"Moomin "has been swiftly making its way into the hearts of North Americans ever since Drawn & Quarterly began collecting the strip in 2006. It debuted in the "London Evening News "in 1954 and has become the fastest-selling D+Q series to date. Fifty years ago, Tove Jansson's observations of everyday life--whimsical but with biting undertones--easily caught the attention of an international audience and still resonate today. This third volume returns to Moominvalley, where its beloved inhabitants get tangled up in five new stories. Moomin falls in love with a damsel in distress, an unseasonably warm spell turns the valley into a tropical rain forest, and a flying saucer crashes into Moominmamma's garden. Moominpappa decides to live out his dream of occupying a lighthouse and writing a great seaside novel, only to discover that he hates the sea so close up and has no interest in writing about it, and a variety of curious clubs spring up in the valley. Moomin and Moominmamma do their level best to avoid the whole mess but, of course, get drawn into the muddle. Review Quotes: "[Jansson's] work soars with lightness and speed, and her drawings only echo her writing: delicate but precise, observant yet suggestive . . . Jansson was exceptional, an exuberant explorer of emotional independence and interdependence, a liberating force." "--Los Angeles Times Book Review"

Detta är en förtjusande berättelse om upptäckt och vänskap i Mumindalen. Genom fantasifulla äventyr gräver Mumin och vännerna fram en unik skatt och betonar de ovärderliga banden som gör livet magiskt.

Der kleine, rundliche Troll Mumin ist voller Neugier und Fantasie. Zusammen mit seinem Freund Sniff gerät er in so manch haarsträubendes Abenteuer. Viele wunderbare und geheimnisvolle Freunde trifft er dabei, muss sich jedoch auch manch zwielichtiger Gestalt erwehren, seien es stinkende Ungetüme, ruchlose Räuber oder gar bekannte Filmstars. Doch am Ende sitzen alle zusammen am Feuer und stoßen auf die gemeinsamen Erlebnisse an. Die schwedisch-finnische Autorin Tove Jansson hat mit ihren Mumintrollen einen zeitlosen Klassiker geschaffen. Neben den bekannten, reich illustrierten Kinderbüchern ließ sie ihre Figuren auch in einer Comicstripreihe auftreten, die in den Fünfzigerjahren für eine englische Zeitung erdacht und gezeichnet wurde. Diese Comicstrips werden nun bei Reprodukt erstmalig in einer deutschsprachigen Gesamtausgabe vorgelegt. Tove Janssons "Mumins" haben bis heute nichts von ihrem Zauber und ihrem unnachahmlichen Charme verloren, der Jung und Alt gleichermaßen anspricht.

Tove Janssons tre første romaner ud af i alt otte om Mumitrolden, Mumifamilien og alle vennerne i Mumidalen er her samlet i én bog. Den første roman De små trolde og den store oversvømmelse, der udkom første gang i 1945, markerer begyndelsen på Mumiuniverset og handler om, hvordan Mumimor og Mumitrolden efter mange genvordigheder bliver lykkeligt forenet med Mumifar igen, og til sidst finder de deres hjem i Mumidalen, der er smukkere end nogen dal, de har set før. I Kometen kommer, der er fra 1946 fortælles om, hvordan familien og vennerne indstiller sig på en tid, hvor en komet truer med at komme forbi, men er det virkelig så slemt? Det synes nogle, andre synes ikke, og kometen kommer bare nærmere og nærmere. Og sidst Troldkarlens hat fra 1948, hvori der stiftes bekendtskab med trolderi i form af en tryllehat, der giver megen fornøjelse, glæder og sorger. De tre bøger giver sammen et fantastisk indblik i Mumiuniverset med de indtagende, elskelige og meget forskellige væsener, der er fulde af hjælpsomhed, godhed og små og store uenigheder. Man ler og græder sammen med dem i deres lilleputverden, hvor livet ofte bliver lidt for broget, men hvor menneskeligheden altid vinder.

Genom sin utforskning av förtroende, vänskap och naturens oförutsägbarhet visar "Farlig Midsommar" upp Janssons signatur whimsical stil och är en älskad tillskott till Muminserien.

Like the clear, brilliantly blue sky that hangs over the small island on which it's set, "The Summer Book" is intense, fleeting, and perfect. Tove Jansson's slender novel is a season told in episodes in the lives a six-year-old girl, awakening to existence, and her grandmother, who is nearing the end of hers. The two traipse over coastline and forest in easy companionship, discussing the things that matter to young and old alike: life, death, the nature of God and of love. Though unsentimental and wise, and at times cranky, the grandmother is a willing partner in her granddaughter's childish games; together they build boats from bark, create a miniature Venice, and write a book of imaginary entomology. And though impetuous and volatile, the girl tends to her grandmother with the care of an anxious parent. On an island, thinks the grandmother, "everything is complete." In "The Summer Book," Jansson creates her own complete world, full of the joys and sorrows of our time on earth. Jansson lived for much of her life on an unspoiled island in the Gulf of Finland, and "The Summer Book "is her closely observed journal of the sounds, sights, and feel of a summer spent in intimate contact with the natural world. Review Quotes: "Tove Jansson was a genius. This is a marvelous, beautiful, wise novel, which is also very funny." -Philip Pullman "A wise, joyous book...it unfolds the knowledge and the beauty of the two lives it embraces-old wisdom and young discover, intertwining like vines." -Rex Reed "The Summer Book manages to make you feel good as well as wise, without having to make too much effort...[it] says so much that we want to hear in such an accessible form, without ever really saying anything at all." -"The Independent" (London) "Few books since "Robinson Crusoe" have evoked the joys of island living so powerfully as this Finnish novella." -"The Observer," PAPERBACK OF THE WEEK "The Summer Book is a marvellously uplifting read, full of gentle humour and wisdom." -"Daily Telegraph "(London) "A marvellous book... The prose is sublime: plain, but not oppressively so." -"Independent" on Sunday (London) "A...beautiful novel which blends humour and poetry with detailed observation of tiny things." -"Daily Mail" (London) "It's hard to describe the astonishing achievement of Jansson's artistry...a perfection of the small, quiet read." -"The Guardian," (London) BOOK OF THE WEEK "A wonderful novel to devour in the sunshine...full of charm and character." -"The Independent," 50 BEST BOOKS FOR SUMMER "Every so often, a book is published that captures something in us... The Summer Book is one of those." -"Daily Telegraph" "Responses, conversations, and observations yield quietly reflective and funny ruminations on life and death." -"The Age" (Australia) "Thomas Teal, a luminous translator of Jansson's twin talent for surface and depth, simplicity and reverberation inlanguage, and someone who knows exactly how to convey her gift for sensing the meaning embedded in the most mundane act or turn of phrase." -Ali Smith "This is a wonderful, life-affirming, spirited book. Reading it was a tonic." -Chris Stewart (author, "Driving Over Lemons") "Eccentric, funny, wise, full of joys and small adventures. This is a book for life." -Esther Freud "The Summer Book is beautiful and warm, with the kind of wisdom we can adapt to our everyday lives." -Liv Ullmann "Take a book in which there is no plot but bucketloads of positive feelings presented simply, and it will become a cult. "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance "and "Jonathan Livingston Seagull "were both bestsellers; no one could say what either was really about, but everyone could quote a meaningful truism from them. The Summer Book is in this mould: it manages to make you feel good as well as wise..." -"Independent"
