Παρουσίαση
Translated into English for the first time, Travelling Light takes us into new Tove Jansson territory.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 by an oddly intrusive child; an artist returns from abroad to discover that her past has been eerily usurped.
With the deceptively light prose that is her hallmark, Tove Jansson reveals to us the precariousness of a journey - the unease we feel at being placed outside of our millieu, the restlessness and shadows that intrude upon a summer.
The writer and artist TOVE JANSSON (1914-2001) is best known as the creator of the Moomin stories, which were first published in English sixty years ago and have remained in print since.
However, in her fifties she turned her attention to writing for adults, producing a dozen novels and story collections, including the classic, bestselling The Summer Book.
Travelling Light, written in Swedish in 1987, is published for the first time in English. Sort Of Books have also published The Summer Book, A Winter Book, Fair Play and The True Deceiver. (From the publisher)
