Sculptor's Daughter: A Childhood Memoir

Autor Tove Jansson
en Limba Engleză Paperback – apr 2015
Tove Jansson's first book for adults drew on her childhood memories to capture afresh the enchantments and fears of growing up in Helsinki in the nineteen tens and twenties. Described as both a memoir and 'a book of superb stories' by Ali Smith, her startlingly evocative prose offers a glimpse of the mysteries of winter ice, the bonhomie of balalaika parties, and the vastness of Christmas viewed from beneath the tree. With rare images from the Jansson family archive, it makes a perfect gift.

Notă biografică

Tove Jansson (1914-2001) is best known as the creator of the much loved Moomin stories for children. However, in her fifties she turned her attention to writing for adults, producing a dozen novels and story collections. Sculptor's Daughter was the first, in 1968, followed by The Listener, three years later, which will be published by June 2014 [9781908745361].

Recenzii

As an artefact, it's a jewel with evocative black and white photographs throughout ... Jansson's narrator is wise but not precocious and has an authentic way of parroting adult observations. It's easy to see how this child, full of love and wonder, became the woman who gave us the philosophical Moomintrolls.

Textul de pe ultima copertă

Tove Jansson's memoirs of her early years, filled with joy, exuberance, and the satisfaction of being alive
The excitement of being alive and savoring the good things in life pervades the writing of Tove Jansson. The beloved nine volumes of her Moomintroll chronicles for younger readers, her two adult novels,The Summer BookandSun City, and her internationally known paintings and drawings reveal this delight. In these memoirs of her very early years, richly illustrated with personal photographs, Jansson shares the pleasures of experiencing nature in Finland and growing up with a happy, freedom-loving family. It is an account of childhood that speaks to readers everywhere.
