Letters From Tove
I find myself talking to you about all the great joys, all the agonies, all my thoughts... - Letter to Eva Konikova, 1946 Out of the thousands of letters Tove Jansson wrote a cache remains that she addressed to her family, her dearest confidantes, and her lovers, male and female. Into these she spilled her innermost thoughts, defended her ideals and revealed her heart. To read these letters is both an act of startling intimacy and a rare privilege.

The Woman Who Borrowed Memories: Selected Stories
An NYRB Classics Original Tove Jansson was a master of brevity, unfolding worlds at a touch. Her art flourished in small settings, as can be seen in her bestselling novel The Summer Book and in her internationally celebrated cartoon strips and books about the Moomins. It is only natural, then, that throughout her life she turned again and again to the short story. The Woman Who Borrowed Memories is the first extensive selection of Jansson's stories to appear in English. Many of the stories collected here are pure Jansson, touching on island solitude and the dangerous pull of the artistic impulse: in 'The Squirrel' the equanimity of the only inhabitant of a remote island is thrown by a visitor, in 'The Summer Child' an unlovable boy is marooned along with his lively host family, in 'The Cartoonist' an artist takes over a comic strip that has run for decades, and in 'The Doll's House' a man's hobby threatens to overwhelm his life. Others explore unexpected territory: 'Shopping' has a

Farlig midsommer
Smuk udgave af den femte roman om Mumitroldene. Farlig midsommer er den femte roman ud af de i alt ni romaner, Tove Jansson skrev om Mumitroldene. Bogen udkom første gang i 1954. En vældig flodbølge rammer Mumidalen, og Mumifamiliens elskede hjem forsvinder i bølgerne. Mumitroldene bliver heldigvis reddet af et besynderligt fartøj, som ingen ved, hvor kommer fra, eller hvad er. Det viser sig at være et teater – en magisk verden Mumitroldene intet kender til. På det driver de ind i midsommernatten, møder nye venner og fjender og finder ud af, at intet er, som man forventer, når man spiller teater. Tove Jansson skabte i 1945 universet om Mumitroldene, som siden blev verdensberømt og prisbelønnet for sit skarpsyn og finurligt formidlede livsvisdom. Romanerne, som er udgangspunkt for univserset, har for længst opnået klassikerstatus. I samme serie (og flere på vej): De små trolde og den store oversvømmelse Kometen kommer Troldkarlens hat Mumifars erindringsbog

Billedhuggerens datter
BILLEDHUGGERENS DATTER er Tove Janssons barndomserindringer fra opvæksten i et frisindet og fantasifuldt kunstnerhjem i Helsingfors. Hun genskaber det ydre miljø, kunstner- og familielivet, som domineredes af faren, billedhuggeren Viktor Jansson. Men frem for alt indfanger hun barnets oplevelse af livet og verden: det mystiske og magiske midt i hverdagen, spændingen mellem sikkerhed og terror, den grænseløse fantasi – elementer, der udgjorde byggestenene i hele Tove Janssons forfatterskab. Tove Jansson (1914-2001) er bedst kendt som skaberen af Mumitroldene. BILLEDHUGGERENS DATTER var hendes første bog for voksne og er en af de klassiske barndomsskildringer i svensk litteratur.

The Summer Book
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.

Art In Nature
An elderly caretaker at a large outdoor exhibition, called Art in Nature, finds that a couple have lingered on to bicker about the value of a picture; he has a surprising suggestion that will resolve both their row and his own ambivalence about the art market. A draughtsman's obsession with drawing locomotives provides a dark twist to a love story. A cartoonist takes over the work of a colleague who has suffered a nervous breakdown only to discover that his own sanity is in danger. In these witty, sharp, often disquieting stories, Tove Jansson reveals the fault-lines in our relationship with art, both as artists and as consumers. Obsession, ambition, and the discouragement of critics are all brought into focus in these wise and cautionary tales.
