review 1: This is the third in the comic strip. Personally, I think that Tove Jansson's least important work is in her comic strips. The format of a daily newspaper strip was not suited to her particular form of genius. Having said that, while the quality of the work here varies quite a...

review 1: Det var mycket intressant att läsa den allra första av Muminböckerna. Mycket liknar de senare böckerna, samtidigt som varken trollen eller berättartekniken har samma tydliga form som de sedan kommer få. Trollen är liksom nästan bokstavligt suddiga i konturerna, och själva berätte...

review 1: I find the way Tove Jansson writes about space in The True Deceiver pretty much irresistible. Not only space in a physical sense - the close confines of the house her two main characters share for the winter - but also space in a more psychological sense; the space between people...

review 1: I would recommend this book to anyone who values character development over plot development. It's a wonderful thing to some, and very difficult to others. Fortunately, I fall into the former category!Upon finishing the book, I felt like I had a bunch of puzzle pieces and I was t...

review 1: Dva příběhy se strojem času jsou zřejmě nejbanálnější z celé série, ale tento nečekaně slabý začátek je bohatě vynahrazen příběhem se zlatou oháňkou a zejména třetím stripem "Uvědomělí muminové", kde si autorka pohrála jak s vykreslením povahy muminku, tak oproti ostatním dílům i...

review 1: Разказите тук са сякаш съвсем леко щрихирани , внимателно, с молив, за да може при прочита всеки да си удебели или оцвети каквото прецени, да си добави нюанси ...Тези, които бих "омастилила" най-дебело - "Куклената къща" и "Голямото пътешествие".Корицата тук ми е една идея по-агр...
