Tove Jansen, Tuulikki Pietilä: Aantekeningen van een eiland
Tove Jansson
Koppernik, 2026
€21,50
Amidst the biting autumn winds of 1963, Tove Jansson—assisted by Brunström, an eccentric fisherman—builds a cabin on a tiny, treeless island in the Gulf of Finland. The island is named Klovharun, and for thirty summers, Tove and her partner, the graphic artist Tuulikki Pietilä, retreat there to live, paint, and write, inspired by the solitude and the ever-changing seascapes.
*Notes from an Island*, published here in Dutch for the first time, is both a chronicle of this period and a tribute to the love Tove and ‘Tooti’ shared for their island and for each other. Tove’s precise prose and Tuulikki’s subtle watercolors combine to create a work of meditative beauty that leaves the reader deeply moved. IN DUTCH!
