This brief novel tells the story of Sophia, a six-year-old girl awakening to existence, and Sophia's grandmother, nearing the end of hers, as they spend the summer on a tiny unspoiled island in the Gulf of Finland. The grandmother is unsentimental and wise, if a little cranky; Sophia is impetuous and volatile, but she tends to her grandmother with the care of a new parent. Together they amble over coastline and forest in easy companionship, build boats from bark, create a miniature Venice, write a fanciful study of local bugs. They discuss things that matter to young and old alike: life, death, the nature of God and of love. \"On an island,\" thinks the grandmother, \"everything is complete.\" In \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eThe Summer Book\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, Jansson creates her own complete world, full of the varied joys and sorrows of life.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-keynote\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTove Jansson, whose Moomintroll comic strip and books brought her international acclaim, lived for much of her life on an island like the one described in \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eThe Summer Book\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, and the work can be enjoyed as her closely observed journal of the sounds, sights, and feel of a summer spent in intimate contact with the natural world.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-keynote\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eThe Summer Book\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is translated from the Swedish by Thomas Teal.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eפרטים נוספים\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eמספר עמודים\u003c\/strong\u003e: 184\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eשנת הוצאה\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"New York Review of Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43143295565920,"sku":null,"price":84.0,"currency_code":"ILS","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0245\/9572\/6432\/files\/TheSummerBook.jpg?v=1789033383","url":"https:\/\/www.sipurpashut.com\/products\/the-summer-book","provider":"סיפור פשוט","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
