Creo que de los relatos de los Moomins este ha sido el que más me siento identificada, odio el invierno y Moomintroll también, los nuevos personajes excelentes, había partes muy tristes y momentos muy emotivos.

Extrañaba leer a Tove Jansson especialmente porque cada vez que ella comienza a escribir algo demasiado emotivo le mete algo chistoso para evitar lo incómodo pero sin quitarle el peso al momento dejando una marca para los personajes.

También me gusta mucho que los personajes no olviden lo que ha pasado en los libros anteriores (que ya van 6 con este) creando una evolución en ellos -especificamente en este caso de Moomintroll que es el que ha cambiado más últimamente.

Some people have complained that Moomin is too whiny and negative about winter. But I think you can't really understand that feeling if you have never experienced Scandinavian winter. Especially for a little Moomintroll, who only knows summery sun and warmth, it must be hard to wake up in an entirely different world, cold and dark, alone. But eventually he finds many special creatures and people who have been hidden during summer. And he experiences so much that no Moomintroll has ever seen before. It's a really cute and wholesome story with quite a few deep and philosophical ideas about life. I love this and I'm looking forward to readin more Moomin books in the future

Just lovely. The perfect under-a-blanket January read.

”ser du, det är så mycket som inte får rum om sommarn och hösten och våren, sa hon. allting som är lite skyggt och lite märkvärdigt. somliga slags nattdjur och folk som aldrig passar in nånstans och som ingen tror på. de håller sig undan hela året. och sen när det är lugnt och vitt och nätterna blir långa och alla har gått i ide – då kommer de fram”

”om man är död så är man död... den här ekorren kommer så småningom att bli jord. och ännu senare växer det träd ur honom där nya ekorrar hoppar omkring. är nu det så sorgligt?”

”tro mig; det finns ingenting så farligt som att bli en innesittare”

Początek był klimatyczny, potem jednak zaczęła mnie ta książka nudzić. Raczej nie będę fanką Muminków
