Synopsis "Notes from an Island"

In the bitter winds of autumn 1963, Tove Jansson, helped by Brunström, a maverick fisherman, raced to build a cabin on a treeless island in the Gulf of Finland. The island was Klovharun, where for thirty summers Tove and her beloved partner, the visual artist, Tuulikki "Tooti" Pietilä, lived, painted, and wrote, energized by the solitude and shifting seascapes. The island's flora, fauna, and weather patterns provided deep inspiration which can be seen reflected in all of Jansson's work, most famously in her bestselling novel The Summer Book and her longstanding comic strip and novels for children, Moomin. Tove's signature spare, quirky prose, and Tooti's subtle ink washes and aquatints combine to form a work of meditative beauty, a chronicle of living peacefully in nature and observing the island's ecology and character. Notes from an Island is both a work of artistic collaboration and an homage to the deep love the two women shared. One feels as if Jansson's journal, with Tooti's sketches tucked inside, has been unearthed like a treasure from under a pile of old quilts in the back of their rustic cabin.

Tove Jansson (1914-2001) fue una escritora y artista finlandesa cuyos libros ilustrados para niños y ficción para adultos se han hecho famosos en todo el mundo. Es conocida principalmente por ser la creadora de los cuentos infantiles de los Mumin, así como de las tiras cómicas y los libros ilustrados que le siguieron, y por El libro de verano , una novela considerada un clásico de la ficción nórdica. Sin embargo, destacó en diversas disciplinas literarias y artísticas, alcanzando fama temprana como una joven y prometedora pintora y dibujante, y, posteriormente, como autora de novelas, cuentos, poemas y obras de teatro para radio y teatro. Incluso escribió canciones.

El enfoque de Tove Jansson hacia el trabajo, al igual que su enfoque hacia la vida, era sincero y vital. Buscaba la originalidad y la frescura, creando prosa e imágenes llenas de color, con talento para la narración y valores humanos e inclusivos. Su amor por la naturaleza es una constante, especialmente por el mar que rodeaba la isla finlandesa donde pasaba los veranos.

Tove Marika Jansson nació el 9 de agosto de 1914 y murió el 27 de junio de 2001. Su tumba se encuentra en el cementerio de Hietaniemi en Helsinki, Finlandia.
