Moominvalley in November (Moomins Fiction)

Product Information

Man regis, o gal tiesiog taip gerai nebeprisimenu kitų, bet paskutinė ciklo knyga yra filosofiškiausia iš visų. Meanwhile, Grandpa-Grumble comes to the conclusion that the winter ages people and so decides to go into hibernation in the clothes cupboard like the Ancestor. Toft finds an old microbiology textbook, and misinterpreting it as a story, creates a monster in his imagination known as the Creature, which appears to develop a life of its own. Unfortunately the paper they used was quite thin so the print on one side shows through to the other, which is a dissapointing skimp on their part. Visa šeimyna kažkur iškeliavo, bet prisiminimai apie ją atvilioja į slėnį homsiuką Toftą, Filifjonką, Hemulį, mažosios Miu seserį Miumlą, dėdžių Skrutą ir Snusmumriką, kuris planavo iškeliauti (visada iškeliauja artėjant žiemai), bet lieka dar kelioms dienoms, savaitėms.

Set contemporaneously with her previous novel Moominpappa at Sea (1965), it is the only installment in the series where the titular Moomin family are actually absent. I worried the book would end with rather nihilistic pessimism – Toft staring out at a bleak sea – but in fact there is a glimmer of hope: Toft spies the Moomins’ boat approaching and runs to meet them.Ir ta puslapius persmelkusi Paslaptis, kuri pabaigoje, kai homsiukas leidžiasi į Mišką, į slėnio užribį, kai staiga jam dingsta visi vaizdiniai apie muminukus, kai jis lieka tuščias kaip tas muminukų Tėčio stiklinis rutulys.

Meanwhile, Grandpa-Grumble becomes obsessed with both fishing in a nearby stream that he insists is actually a brook as well as with meeting the Ancestor, a three-hundred-year-old Moomin who he is told by Mymble hibernates in the stove. Throughout the book Jansson seems to be asking herself if she's made a mistake, given people the wrong idea, promised too much that she couldn't deliver. Since Farrar, Straus and Giroux began reissuing the books in 1989, grateful readers old and new have been thrilled to have the stories available again. Somehow the uptight dowager manages to be one of the most sympathetic characters in all of Moominvalley. Nothing other than waiting, and hope, and friendship, and the fear of living in a world we only partly understand, and a sense that life could be somehow different, if we could only work out how, or could drum up the courage to change things.Filifionka, Paszczak, Toft radzą sobie z narastającą jesienną chandrą w ten sposób, że próbuje być Muminkami. The whole world was craving for more Moomin, and yet, this last novel became a Moomin book devoid of Moomins. Odjavna pesma finsko-japanskog animea „Mumijevi” u bosanskohercegovačkoj sihronizaciji započinje stihom: „Kad sunce zađe mrak te snađe” - neočekivano melanholično za odjavnu špicu crtanog filma o veselom životu i nežnim priključenijima trolova koji nalikuju na nilske konje (ne, oni nisu nilski konji, postoji čitava jedna epizoda posvećena ovom problemu). The chilly Groke — the most terrible of monsters, one of the few creatures who is never invited in—freezes everything she touches, and on the ground where she has sat, nothing grows again. Tove gives her the book’s one and only moment of real drama; when a spot of extreme spring cleaning goes wrong Fillyjonk is left clinging to the roof of her house.
