Ilustration Toward Books Den ärliga bedragaren

Den ærlige bedrageren utspiller seg i en snekledd landsby i det nordlige Finland. Til å begynne med ligner det en historie om hvordan to kvinner fra hver sin generasjon utvikler et inderlig vennskap. Anna er en suksessfull og rik, men upraktisk og livsfjern eldre barnebokforfatter. Hun bor alene i et stort hus, opptatt med å male landskapsbilder. Katri er en ung, sterk og effektiv kvinne, som flytter inn for å gi en hjelpende hånd. Hun overtar snart styringen i huset, ordner opp i regnskapene og setter en stopper for folks forsøk på å snyte den gamle damen. Alt er et ledd i en listig uttenkt plan, men underveis skjer det en forvandling med dem begge, og spørsmålene reiser seg: Hvem er bedrageren og hvem er den ærlige? Hvem er vinner og hvem er taper i dette spillet mellom de to kvinnene?

My first thought after I completed this was, 'how do I describe this book?' I found it a bit of a struggle to pinpoint the exact plot of the book. After a first few attempts, I realized the whole point of the book was to leave the reader with very few answers and more questions.This was my introduction to Tove Jansson's books. The True Deceiver is about two women, both outcasts from the society. There's Katri Kling, who stays with her brother, Mat, above the grocery store. She is brutally

This is a short and claustrophobic book in every sense of the word. Not merely the setting of a small village with few inhabitants, but the emotional world of these characters as well. In particular, Anna and Katri. The former writes childrens books that feature cute drawings of rabbits with flowers growing on them. Its a world that has little connection to reality and neatly matches her own where she daydreams about her deceased parents all day while living in a house deep in the forest.

Imagine winter, in an isolated small community. Snowbound. You really can feel it.And imagine two women.First there is Anna, elderly and living alone in her old family home. She is the creator of a successful series of illustrated books for children. In the winter she stays quietly at home, attending to the correspondence she receives from her young readers. And when spring comes she goes out into the forest and paints pictures of the scenery, adorned with floral rabbits. She is content with her

This is a perfect novel in the same way The Great Gatsby is a perfect novel. Not in the sense of "best" novel--but, in that it perfectly executes its intention, its reason to exist as a novel. Instead of a traditional protagonist-antagonist relationship there are two antagonists of equal and opposing strength at the heart of this novel. The only characteristic the two women share is the utter isolation each endures in daily life. While part of a community, they are set apart from that community,

Early, in this little gem of a novel, Katri Kling and Edvard Liljeberg have this dialogue:"I can take the mail up to Miss Aemelin," she said."I can't let you do that; it's the postman's job to deliver the mail. It's a position of trust."Katri lifted her face and opened her eyes at him; in the hard light on the porch they were truly yellow. "Trust," she said. "Don't you trust me?" She paused and then repeated, "I can take the mail up to Miss Aemelin. It's important to me.""Are you trying to



I like Tove Janssons brand of wisdom. Its not a hard won wisdom of the sort that has grown from the rubble of cynicism, betrayal, and defeat. Its a clear-eyed wisdom that has never lost its innocence; a wisdom that plays even as it sees through to the dark heart of people and things. Its the wisdom of solitude and barrenness that attracts company and fertility but doesnt need them; content to know but not participate overmuch, radiating a warmth from its detachment.This is a late novel by
