Podcasts about Tove Jansson

Ob filozofsko intoniranih, melanholičnih knjigah velike švedsko-finske pisateljice Tove Jansson se postavlja vprašanje, komu so zgodbe o Mumintrolu, njegovi družini in prijateljih pravzaprav namenjene – mladim ali starim?»Moralo je biti proti koncu poznega avgustovskega popoldneva, ko sta Mumintrol in njegova mama prispela v najglobljo hosto.« To je stavek, s katerim nas je v knjigi Mumintrolčki in velika povodenj finsko-švedska pisateljica Tove Jansson pred točno 80 leti prvikrat povedla v svoj neverjetno bogat, ontološko poln domišljijski svet filifjonk, hatifnatov, gafs, hemulov in, jasno, muminov, dobrodušnih, belih, oblih, kakor da puhastih bitjec, ki od daleč spominjajo na miniaturne nilske konje. Tej, prvi knjigi je v naslednjih 25 letih sledilo še osem drugih, ki so svoji avtorici navsezadnje prinesle svetovno slavo in ugled. V tem kontekstu vsekakor velja omeniti, da je leta 1966 na kongresu Mednarodne zveze za mladinsko književnost, ki je potekal prav v Ljubljani, Tove Jansson prejela tudi Andersenovo nagrado, ki sicer velja za nekakšnega Nobela v polju otroške literature. Seveda pa so Mumintrol in drugi junaki Tove Jansson sčasoma prestopili mejo, ki jo predstavljajo knjižne platnice, se naselili v stripih, animiranih serijah, gledaliških igrah, trgovinah z igračami ter zabaviščnih parkih in tako konec koncev ustvarili globalen poslovni imperij. A zakaj natanko? S čim vse so zgodbe Tove Jansson pravzaprav omrežile generacije bralk in bralcev – in to nikakor ne le tistih, mlajših od deset let – po vsem svetu? – To je vprašanje, ki nas je zaposlovalo v tokratnem Kulturnem fokusu, ko smo pred mikrofonom gostili prevajalko dr. Nado Grošelj, ki je v zadnjih nekaj letih poskrbela, da lahko knjige Tove Jansson naposled prebiramo tudi v slovenščini.

Tove Jansson skapade sina mest älskade karaktärer mitt under brinnande världskrig. Hur präglades böckerna av tiden? Och varför berör de oss än idag? Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Mumintrollets födelse och andra världskrigetMumintrollen förknippas ofta med trygghet, nostalgi och barndomens sagovärld. Men Tove Jansson skapade sina mest älskade karaktärer mitt under andra världskrigets mörker, i en tid av oro, bombningar och flykt. Trots sin popularitet som barnböcker är Muminvärlden laddad med filosofiska och existentiella frågor som speglar världens tillstånd under och efter kriget.Mumintrollet fyller 80 – men fortsätter vara aktuellDet är 80 år sedan Mumintrollen såg dagens ljus, men berättelserna fortsätter att beröra. Vad är det i Muminböckerna som gör dem så tidlösa? Och varför speglar de kanske vår egen tid mer än någonsin?Muminvärlden genom forskarens ögonI Vetenskapsradion besöker vi Boel Westin, professor i litteraturvetenskap och en ledande expert på Tove Jansson och Mumintrollen. Hon förklarar hur krig, sorg och existentiella frågor genomsyrar Muminböckerna, och blandas med äventyr och sagor. Westin ger oss en djupare förståelse för hur Muminvärlden speglar Tove Janssons tidens oro, och varför dessa berättelser fortsätter att fascinera både forskare och läsare.Reporter: Emelie Bredmaremelie.bredmar@sr.se Producent: Lars Broströmlars.brostrom@sr.se

I denne episoden er Siri Lindstad på besøk for å fortelle om «På spøkelsessiden», sakprosaboken som var under arbeid da hun sist var innom podden. Boken omhandler skeive liv i Paris i perioden 1945 – 1952, og blant personene som portretteres i boken, finner vi Tove Jansson og hennes første kvinnelige kjæreste, Vivica Bandler.Vi snakker om Tove og Vivicas stormfulle forelskelse, livet på den sagnomsuste lesbiske klubben Le Monocle, hva det vil si å vandre på venstre bredd av Seinen, og hvordan begrepet skeivhet kan ta opp i seg mer enn bare seksuell legning. Siri forteller også om hvordan det er å lese andres kjærlighetsbrev (ofte kleint!), om hva som skjer når hun får lesbisk los, og om Toves ganske ukjente erotiske syngespill. Dessuten får vi vite hva Kjell Aukrust har med det skeive klubblivet i Paris å gjøre!OPPDAG: Tove Jansson er produsert av Heidi Sævareid.

Maggie O'Farrell is the author of nine novels. Her debut, After You'd Gone, was published 25 years ago this year and won the Betty Trask Prize in 2001. Her 2010 book The Hand That First Held Mine won the Costa Novel Award; and Hamnet, her hugely acclaimed and bestselling story of the death of Shakespeare's son, won the 2020 Women's Prize for fiction. Maggie O'Farrell has also written a memoir; I Am, I Am, I Am: Seventeen Brushes with Death. Maggie tells John Wilson about some of her creative influences including the Finnish writer Tove Jansson, whose book Moominland Midwinter she first read at the age of eight when she was ill in bed, suffering from encephalitis. The poet Michael Donaghy gave Maggie valuable writing advice when she attended his poetry workshops at City University and inspired her with his recitations of poetry from memory. Maggie also reveals how seeing a David Hockney photomontages called The Scrabble Game hugely influenced the way she constructs narrative and time-frame in her novels.Producer: Edwina Pitman

Tampere ist die drittgrößte Stadt Finnlands und liegt inmitten der finnischen Seenplatte, etwa eineinhalb Zugstunden nördlich von Helsinki. Die alte Industriestadt liegt zwischen zwei großen Seen, die durch eine Stromschnelle verbunden sind. Hier wurde die Wasserkraft im 18. Jahrhundert Anziehungspunkt für die Industrie. Noch heute prägen zahlreiche Backsteingebäude und Schornsteine die Silhouette. Tampere ist die beliebteste Stadt in Finnland – kein Wunder: Sind hier doch Stadtleben und Natur so nah beieinander wie fast nirgendwo. Außerdem gibt's in und um Tampere 70 öffentliche Saunen, dazu viele Restaurants, Cafés, Bars und Museen. Eines der Museen ist den Mumins gewidmet. Die nilpferdartigen Comicfiguren von Tove Jansson sind fast auf der ganzen Welt bekannt und feiern 2025 ihr 80-jähriges Bestehen. In Tampere steht auch die älteste, öffentliche Sauna Finnlands. Seit 1906 wird in der Rajaportti Sauna geschwitzt und geschwatzt. Noch immer wird der Ofen mit Holz beheizt, einer der Heizer ist Deutscher: Alexander Lembke, der sogar zum Finnischen Saunameister 2024 gekürt wurde. Auch wenn es rund um Tampere recht hügelig ist, eignet sich die Gegend zum Radfahren. Mountainbiker kommen hier voll auf ihre Kosten, und entlang der Seeufer gibt's viele Möglichkeiten für längere Radtouren für jedes Fitnesslevel. Zurück geht's mit einem Dampfschiff, das, ganz klar, ebenfalls mit Holz beheizt wird. Petra Martin war für uns in Tampere und nimmt uns mit in die Stadt zwischen zwei Seen, die Saunen und ins Mumin-Museum.

Tove Jansson var en oändligt begåvad författare, konstnär och serieskapare, men hennes musikaliska talang är inte lika känd. Vilken roll hade musiken egentligen? Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Tove Janssons konstnärskap var mångsidigt och omfattande en mängd böcker, serier, illustrationer, bildkonst – bland annat – och hennes produktion har varit föremål för både biografier och akademiska arbeten. Hittills har det dock funnits mycket lite att läsa om Tove Janssons känsla för musik och vilken roll den spelade för hennes arbete och liv. Nu kommer ”Detta är min målarsång – Tove Jansson och musiken” av sångaren och skådespelaren Emma Klingenberg. Boken handlar om musiken Tove Jansson lyssnade på, vistexterna hon skrev och en unik kassettsamling som tillhört henne och Tuulikki Pietilä. Emma Klingenberg medverkar i P1 Kultur.Programledare: Thella Johnson.

Hon har även forskat i musiktemat inom Toves konstnärskap. Nu är Klingenberg aktuell med boken ”Detta är min målarsång” – en samling med över sextio vistexter, allt från muminvisor till ”Höstvisan”.REPORTAGE: DAN WOLGERS OCH MATTORNA”Excuse me”. Ursäkta mig. Det står så, men på tre olika sätt, på lika många mattor som konstnären Dan Wolgers gjort för möbelföretaget Asplund. Många minns hans tilltag i början av 90-talet, när han stal bänkar från Liljevalchs och sålde dem på auktion. Satte numret till sin ateljé på omslaget till Gula Sidorna och köpte en hel galleriutställning av en reklambyrå som fick fria händer. Men när kulturredaktionens Mårten Arndtzén träffade Dan Wolgers gled samtalet osökt in på skolfrågor.Programledare: Thella JohnsonProducent: Henrik Arvidsson

Mumintrollen gjorde Tove Jansson (1914-2001) världsberömd – men kastade också en svårskringrad skugga över hennes övriga konstnärskap. Hon var målaren som under 30-talet började teckna nazikritiska karikatyrer för Helsingsfors satirpress. Redan då hade hon en lika nära relation till det skrivna ordet. I sitt starkt visuella författarskap skulle Jansson skildra såväl existentiell ångest och ensamhet som idyll och gemenskap. Och mumintrollen blev hon aldrig av med, trots att hon försökte. Vad var det mest banbrytande med Tove Jansson som konstnär och författare? Vad kan hennes ord och bilder säga oss idag? Litteraturprofessorn Boel Westin gästar Bildningspodden och introducerar en finlandssvensk gigant. Samtalsledare: Hedvig Ljungar Klippning: Lars in de Betou. Producent: Magnus Bremmer

I detta avsnitt tar Henrik oss med på en drömlik resa genom sin familjs fotoalbum, där vi får följa med genom generationer av minnen, från en ung pappa-pojke i en roddbåt till en border collie vid namn Gruff som följde Henrik genom barndomen. Med sin karakteristiska förmåga att väva samman det vardagliga med det existentiella, utforskar Henrik hur människor och djur kan glida ur våra liv lika tyst som snö smälter om våren. Från Studio Ghiblis magiska bildvärld till en floraltäckt Tove Jansson, rör sig berättelsen genom tid och rum, tills vi landar i nuet med en trettonåring som en gång var ett litet knyte i sin pappas famn. Ett avsnitt om tidens obevekliga gång, om hur vi både minns och glömmer, och om hur varje fotografi bär på en historia som är både personlig och universell.För mer information om Henrik Ståhl, klicka här: https://linktr.ee/Henrikstahl Bli medlem i Somna med Henrik PLUS här: https://plus.acast.com/s/somna-med-henrik.

Margaret Talbot, writing in The New Yorker in 2005, recounted that when animators at Pixar got stuck on a project they'd file into a screening room to watch a film by Hayao Miyazaki. Best known for works like “My Neighbor Totoro,” “Princess Mononoke,” and “Spirited Away,” which received the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature, in 2002, he is considered by some to be the first true auteur of children's entertainment. On this episode of Critics at Large, the staff writers Vinson Cunningham, Naomi Fry, and Alexandra Schwartz discuss the themes that have emerged across Miyazaki's œuvre, from bittersweet depictions of late childhood to meditations on the attractions and dangers of technology. Miyazaki's latest, “The Boy and the Heron,” is a semi-autobiographical story in which a young boy grieving his mother embarks on a quest through a magical realm as the Second World War rages in reality. The Japanese title, “How Do You Live?,” reveals the philosophical underpinnings of what may well be the filmmaker's final work. “Wherever you are—whether it seems to be peaceful, whether things are scary—there's something happening somewhere,” Cunningham says. “And you have to learn this as a child. There's pain somewhere. And you have to learn how to live your life along multiple tracks.”Read, watch, and listen with the critics:“Kiki's Delivery Service” (1989)“My Neighbor Totoro” (1988)“Old Enough!” (1991-present)“Princess Mononoke” (1997)“Spirited Away” (2001)“The Boy and the Heron” (2023)“The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe” by C.

Paintings by the world-famous Moomins creator Tove Jansson are on show in Finland. The exhibition at the Helsinki Art Museum marks the 80th anniversary of the publication of Jansson's book The Moomins and the Great Flood, which introduced the creatures to the world. Prior to the success of the Moomins, Jansson first made a name for herself as a talented artist who painted on commission in public spaces during the 1940s and 1950s. The exhibition features her public murals, including sketches that were found in her studio and have never before been shown to the public. “This exhibition at HAM—Helsinki Art Museum—is special because it's the first time we can see the wholeness of Tove Jansson's all public artworks that she has ever made,” says Heli Harni, curator of the exhibition. Five original murals and several competition paintings, as well as photographic reproductions of works that couldn't be moved to the museum, are displayed at the exhibition called Paradise. Harni hopes the exhibition will show visitors Jansson's creative versatility. “It's a bit different than her storytelling in her books. And as we know, Moomin books and the story of Moomins going and building their own Paradise in the Moomin Valley,” she says. The exhibition also features a display of early edition Moomin books. “It is the jubilee year of the first Moomin book, as we know The Moomins and the Great Flood. And this theme is kind of connected to also this exhibition. And we have also here animation from the first book,” says Harni. While an exhibition dedicated to Tove Jansson must of course refer to the Moomins, the focus is centered on her public works for factory walls, hospitals and nurseries. Jansson's works, some with hidden Moomins, will be on display in Helsinki until April 2025 before some of the creations depart for Japan on a two-year tour.

Alma Pöysti är skådespelaren som efter många år på teaterscener i Sverige och Finland fick ett genombrott i rollen som Tove Jansson i filmen Tove från 2020.Och förra året blev hon också Golden Globe-nominerad för sin roll i Aki Kaurismäkis hyllade Höstlöv som faller, en film som också vann Jurypriset i Cannes.Extra anmärkningsvärt eftersom hon tidigare varit rädd både för kameran och teatern.Hur är det att slå igenom internationellt, med tanke på hur mån hon är om att skydda sitt privatliv? Hur gör hon för att övervinna rädslor? Och vilka har hon kvar?”Fanns en fiende inuti mig”Alma Pöysti föddes 1981 i Helsingfors, och beskriver sin ungdom som ”härligt analog”, med närhet till lek och äventyr, även om barnreumatism under många år var ett hinder.

Aesop's fables - including such classics as "The Tortoise and the Hare," "The Fox and the Grapes," and "The Ant and the Grasshopper" - are among the most familiar and best-loved stories in the world. But who was Aesop? Why was he writing these stories - and what about the ones that weren't written for children? Renowned scholar Robin Waterfield, translator of Aesop's Fables: A New Translation, joins Jacke for a discussion of the legendary Aesop and his legendary tales.

I am so excited to say that my guest on the GWA Podcast is Sophia Jansson – niece of Tove Jansson, the legendary Swedish-speaking Finnish writer, artist, novelist, illustrator, and children's book author, best known for creating the Moomins. Born in Helsinki in 1914, Tove grew up immersed in art from a young age. It was thanks to her artist parents, who raised her and her brothers in a home filled with plaster dust, clay, paintings, and floor-to-ceiling books – known to be (quote) “a box with endless secret compartments…” It was even thought she slept on the shelf at one point! But, growing up in the 1910s and 30s, it was also a time wracked by war. Turning to art, Tove made paintings – in a style influenced by the post-Impressionists – and conceived of imaginary worlds, steeped in nature – from forests to the sea – perhaps to escape the imploding world around her. Jansson's books for children and her novels for adults are just as much great stories as they are philosophies on life as she wrote: “before the war I used to think the purpose of life was to act as justly as possible; after the war I thought the purpose of life was to be as happy as possible.” And there is no shadow of a doubt that Jansson and the Moomins, the large-snouted trolls, can show us the true meanings of life.

Tove Jansson (1914-2001) was a Swedish-speaking Finnish author who wrote novels, children's books, comics, magazine covers, political cartoons, and even greeting cards. She is most known for creating The Moomins universe. For Further Reading: Inside Tove Jansson's Private Universe Tove Jansson Klovharu What Exactly Is a Moomin? HARU, ISLAND OF THE SOLITARY  This Pride Month, we're talking about wordsmiths. Women who used language to create community, give a voice to change, and inspire future generations to do the same. History classes can get a bad rap, and sometimes for good reason. When we were students, we couldn't help wondering... where were all the ladies at? Why were so many incredible stories missing from the typical curriculum? Enter, Womanica. On this Wonder Media Network podcast we explore the lives of inspiring women in history you may not know about, but definitely should. Every weekday, listeners explore the trials, tragedies, and triumphs of groundbreaking women throughout history who have dramatically shaped the world around us. In each 5 minute episode, we'll dive into the story behind one woman listeners may or may not know–but definitely should. These diverse women from across space and time are grouped into easily accessible and engaging monthly themes like Educators, Villains, Indigenous Storytellers, Activists, and many more. Womanica is hosted by WMN co-founder and award-winning journalist Jenny Kaplan. The bite-sized episodes pack painstakingly researched content into fun, entertaining, and addictive daily adventures. Womanica was created by Liz Kaplan and Jenny Kaplan, executive produced by Jenny Kaplan, and produced by Grace Lynch, Maddy Foley, Brittany Martinez, Edie Allard, Lindsey Kratochwill, Adesuwa Agbonile, Carmen Borca-Carrillo, Taylor Williamson, Sara Schleede, Paloma Moreno Jimenez, Luci Jones, Abbey Delk, Hannah Bottum, Lauren Willams, and Adrien Behn.

Join us as we dig into the second half of Tove Jansson's delightful novel, The Summer Book.

We're taking it back to the classroom in today's episode! Chelsey and Sara reflect on their experience with high school summer reading as both students and teachers: the good, the great, and the hot takes. While we aren't assigning any reading in this episode, we are sharing 10 classics that would make for great summer reads at any age! For an enhanced reading experience, pair a past Novel Pairings episode with each of these classics to listen as you go.  Of course, our main summer reading recommendation is Les Miserables by Victor Hugo, our BIG summer readalong hosted in Patreon with classes, bonus episodes, and special recaps to get the most out of this huge novel.  Novel Pairings operates on an academic calendar to keep our work sustainable.

Summer is nearly here, so it's the perfect time to dive into Tove Jansson's cult classic, The Summer Book, a delightful but melancholy story about the relationship between a young girl and her grandmother and their life on an island. In this episode we chatted about Jansson's attention to the details of island itself, the unique perspectives of the two main characters, the episode nature of the story and the unique humor in each, and much more.

She's been called Scandinavia's best loved author - but "author" only begins to describe Tove Jansson's genius. Famous worldwide as the creator of the Moomin stories, she balanced her talents as a painter, cartoonist, illustrator, and writer with an unusual lifestyle and an insistence on personal freedom. In this episode, Jacke talks to biographer Boel Westin (Tove Jansson: Life, Art, Words) about the joyful and uncompromising approach that Tove Jansson brought to life, love, and her many creative pursuits.

Being an artist, or making art, in the context of climate is more about being a kind of light in the darkness, making us believe in ourselves and believe in the future so that we want to endeavor to save the thing that we have, our habitat. Some people like to say art can't change the world, but art can change us. Then we can change the world more effectively.I first heard about Bill Crandall from his Viaduct Arts project, a newsletter that brings together various ways artists can help carry us up and over the climate crisis. Bill is from Washington DC though he currently lives with his family in Nairobi, Kenya.As a longtime photographer, his personal long-term projects focus on the human dimension of sweeping historical changes, and take nuanced, poetic, and empathetic looks at topics from gentrification to cultural identity.I appreciate his one person efforts to empower artists in the climate emergency through Viaduct Arts and so I called Bill up on Zoom and we talked about his climate art activism including his observation that ‘art can help us stay centered in ourselves, be resilient, and have some spiritual grounding that's going help us no matter what comes'. Bill's recommended book is Tales from Moominvalley by Tove Jansson. *END NOTES FOR ALL EPISODESHere is a link for more information on season 5.

Margaret Talbot, writing in The New Yorker in 2005, recounted that when animators at Pixar got stuck on a project they'd file into a screening room to watch a film by Hayao Miyazaki. Best known for works like “My Neighbor Totoro,” “Princess Mononoke,” and “Spirited Away,” which received the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature, in 2002, he is considered by some to be the first true auteur of children's entertainment. On this episode of Critics at Large, the staff writers Vinson Cunningham, Naomi Fry, and Alexandra Schwartz discuss the themes that have emerged across Miyazaki's œuvre, from bittersweet depictions of late childhood to meditations on the attractions and dangers of technology. Miyazaki's latest, “The Boy and the Heron,” is a semi-autobiographical story in which a young boy grieving his mother embarks on a quest through a magical realm as the Second World War rages in reality. The Japanese title, “How Do You Live?,” reveals the philosophical underpinnings of what may well be the filmmaker's final work. “Wherever you are—whether it seems to be peaceful, whether things are scary—there's something happening somewhere,” Cunningham says. “And you have to learn this as a child. There's pain somewhere. And you have to learn how to live your life along multiple tracks.” Read, watch, and listen with the critics: “Kiki's Delivery Service” (1989) “My Neighbor Totoro” (1988) “Old Enough!” (1991-present) “Princess Mononoke” (1997) “Spirited Away” (2001) “The Boy and the Heron” (2023) “The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe” by C. S. Lewis (1950) “The Moomins series” by Tove Jansson (1945-70) “The Wind Rises” (2013) New episodes drop every Thursday. Follow Critics at Large wherever you get your podcasts.

In this episode, I chat with Natania Jansz co-owner of Sort of Books about what led her to start a publishing company with her partner, Mark Ellingham in 1999, book cover designers, distribution for indie publishers, and author Shehan Karunatilaka's novel The Seven Moons of Maali Almeida winning the 2022 Booker Prize.Sort of Books is an independent publisher of both original and classic fiction and non-fiction titles. Mark Ellingham and Natania Jansz, creators of the Rough Guide travel series, founded Sort of Books in 1999 mainly to help their friend Chris Stewart launch his debut book Driving Over Lemons which became a surprise UK bestseller, eventually selling more than a million copies. Fired by its success, they have hand-picked three or four titles each year since.In 2022, Sort of Books published Shehan Karunatilaka's novel The Seven Moons of Maali Almeida, which went on to win the 2022 Booker Prize. In short, Sort of Books publish the sort of books they feel proud of.
