WIP Muminvaters wild bewegte Jugend - Tove Jansson (the exploits/ memoirs of moominpappa)

Part II

This time just a quick in between of the endbands. The bead is a bit messy. I have no idea why I keep forgetting whether I have wound the thread around one or both of the other threads, but well, that’s how it is now and I didn’t feel like doing it over.

As usual I have sewn around a thread wrapped in schirting to skip a couple of tie downs as well as keep the thread in place. The last pictures shows the endband backed with a thin japan paper to give a bit of additional support.

Hi I saw your post about the phrase "se ei ole mistään kotoisin" and the book you linked looks interesting I just might get it 👀 I have an Amazon gift card that I want to spend on something fun and I was wondering if you have any Finnish book recommendations!! Either with translation or in simpler Finnish works too :D

Omg!

Ngl you were in my mind when I was writing that book recommendation :3 I hope you will enjoy it if you end up getting it! But keep in mind that because it is humorous it is not a deeb dive but rather scracthing the surface.

I will have to do a confession here that I don't read too much of finnish literature (something that I need to fix)

A general tip: try adding "selkokirja" (or selkosuomi/selkokielinen) to your search. Selkokirjat are books writen, or re-writen into simpler finnish than the original. (yle's website has a section "selkouutiset" where you find news in selkosuomi

Sorry, I wrote you a really long list, but maybe more is better so you can pick and choose.

-The moomin books by Tove Janson! Pick any one, Comet in Moominland and Midsommer Madness are my faves. They were originally written in swedish because Tove was swedish-speaking finn, so finnish editions are translations. There's also comics.

-Not Before Sundown by Johanna Sinisalo. English translation (and many other) is available of this one. This book is about a gay man called Enkeli (angel) who takes a baby troll into his house and tries to take care of it. But troll is part of a wild nature and the night. From tiny snippets we follow how this turns out. Finlandia Prize winner.

-The Unkown Soldier by Väinö Linna. This is THE Book in Finland. A finnish classic and the nation's "collective memory" of the Continuation war against Russia. Many movies made out of this one. According to wikipedia there is a new english translation from 2015, which is better than the previous but some of the localization has been critizied.

-The Purge by Sofi Oksanen. A very dark and depressing book set in the soviet occupation of Estonia. Haven't read this one yet but it is widely popular. Check wikipedia for more info.

-Ja hän huutaa: Splatterpunk-Antologia (Aaave Taajuus, 2014) I took you like violence and blood, well here's a collection of splatterunk short stories writen by different finnish horror authors. Havent read all of them yet, but the ones I have read have been... good in a way of "I wanted to be disgusted and I got what I wanted". Let me tell you, these shortstories are propably the most gruesome shit writen in finnish horror scene. All warnigns ably. You honestly just need to read the backcover. It's only available in finnish but I don't think the language will be too complex.

-Pyöveli by Anneli Kanto. Only available in finnish but it's a humortictic, grotesk story set in medieval Finland following the son of an executioner, a newly (un)happily married judge in Vaasa and a peasant determined to get a new, succesfull life.

- Magdalena Hai writes speculative finnish fiction

Some recomendations by my friends: -Ilkka Remes is a thriler writer but I couldn't find any of his works translated

-Childrens books: Risto Räppääjä -books (K makes references to him in few songs!) and Heinähattu ja Vilttitossu.

-Kepler62 by Timo Parvela (Scifi)

-Varjot by Timo Parvela (fantasy)

-Hirviöasiakaspalvelu, kuinka voin auttaa by Anni Nupponen (monster customer service), the publisher is Osuuskumma

-Leena Krohn writes horror/fantasy

Also some classic finnish books are:

-The seven brothers by Aleksis Kivi, the first novel writen completely in finnish. I read this one, at first it was fun but near the ending draged on way too long, sori Aleksi. You will see this one being referenced all the time.

-The Egyptian (Sinuhe egyptiläinen) by Mika Waltari.

-Minna Canth's plays like Työmiehen Vaimo or Annaliisa. They deal with women's position in the victorian era.

Hey! While you're right that the original Moomin stories weren't anime (they were manga), one of the most popular adaptations of Tove Janson's Moomin valley stories is a 1990s animated series produced in Japan so it technically counts as anime. It was my (a Finnish person's) first exposure to Moomin, and while I also love NGE Moomin has aged better imo cause the Moomin stories are ageless. :)

Ah fuck ! The more you know!

But for real thank you for being so sweet and kind in explaining this to me, rhis is genuinely really interesting !! I've always only seen that it was Finnish so this was new information to me! 💖💖

my kitty's name is mymlan, after the moomin character. fun fact: mymla is also the word tove janson used in her diaries for lesbian sex.

The thing about God, she thought, is that He usually does help, but not until you've made an effort on your own.

I was cleaning my grandparents (now my) house and found this moomin memory game, which included gems like:

misery of heteronormativity

Bold of you to come to our turf

Shamed for hoarding

comfy

And of course true love.

If somebody wants this, I would be 100% willing to slip them into a package and send them, I kind of don’t want to throw this into a trash, but I also don’t know what else to do with it.
