The Summer Book

what a fantastic book full of heart-warming and ludicrous stories about an all-i-want-to-know little girl and her charming grandmother. be ready to the cheeks hurt from laughing. it’s magnificent, really!

p.s. just read it whenever you want to feel (again) in your chest that soft and warm feeling of outgoing summer.

Отзывы часто говорят, что эта книга наполнена ощущенмем уюта, но я этого не заметила. Напротив, показаны люди, точно первобытеые, затерянные среди гигантской природы. Книга скорее грустная философская притча.

The book appeared to be rather a philosophic parable than a collection of cozy stories as I had expected. All the book is imbibed with the idea of God, and imparts to a reader some sort of a melancholic air. The Grandmother and Sophia learn from each other and the Great Nature of the Island, and thus try to comprehend the Uneverse. It feels clearly in chapters about the Cat, the toy Venice, the Tent, and especially in 'Sophia's storm'. And of course it is worth to read because of the brilliant images of the Nordic Nature crated by the renowned author's pen.

какая тёплая и глубокая книга с искрой и лёгкостью.

Story of summer on an island. Quiet yet filled with strong will. A tale of the only things that matter.
