Description

Pamest jauko Muminieleju, lai dzītos uz kaut kādu pamestu salu ar pamestu bāku un tad sēdētu un filozofētu par jūras dabu, bet visiem pārējiem tikmēr jāpakārto savas dzīves šitai viņai iegribai. The trip is initiated by Moominpappa, who has lost touch with himself and has started to feel unnecessary. So without giving too much more of the storyline away, Moominpappa is a pretentious git, Moominmamma needs to go on some suffragette marches (though, to be fair, the author is using her comments as sarcastic digs) and Moomin could do with being less of a pillock. I think what I missed most was the side characters, like Snufkin and Snorkmaiden and Too-Ticky, and all the other little creatures that filled up Moominvalley. To jest wielka sztuka pisać tak jak robi to Tove, pod pozorem niezobowiązującej opowiastki dla młodszych opowiedzieć o tak wielu ludzkich stanach, emocjach i wrażeniach.

And let us not forget that Mamma is so quietly unsettled by life in the lighthouse that she paints herself into the walls .The island is no tropical paradise--it actually sounds quite imposing, looming over the Moomins at first sight like a giant shadow--but holds mysteries aplenty for the whole family: Moominpappa and Moominmamma; Moomintroll and Little My. Her novels along with the picture book Who Will Comfort Toffle are at the centre of her work and divide into two periods. This book in particular is an exploration of the meaning and purpose of life and has a slightly melancholy tone. The story brings us through acute despair to a place not of hope but of beginning to find life bearable once again.

Moominpappa at Sea marks the definitive point where Tove Jansson stopped writing for children and more for adults. Moominmama longs for home and creates a magical mural, Little My enjoys the solitude, Moominpapa puts off fixing the lighthouse lamps and they meet a reclusive fisherman.

Moomintroll also had to deal with a mass-murder of ants, the death of a huge community, the burden of which was placed on his shoulders by cruel and unapologetic little My. There is the old abandoned lighthouse, and the antisocial fisherman who lives on the opposite side of the island. The Groke, who brings cold with her wherever she goes, and cannot find companionship, follows them to the island, howling all the way.

If Moominland Midwinter is about a journey from a place of depression to one of hope and joy, Moominpappa at Sea is about acceptance. In Moominpappa at Sea they arrive at an island that proves as mysterious and wild as even Moominpappa had hoped.Meanwhile, Little My has no need for these kinds of existential meanderings as she is perfectly happy doing whatever it is she feels like at that moment.
