Synopsis "Fair Play (New York Review Books Classics) "

A New York Review Books Original Winner of the 2009 Bernard Shaw Prize for Translation Fair Play is the type of love story that is rarely told, a revelatory depiction of contentment, hard-won and exhilarating. Mari is a writer and Jonna is an artist, and they live at opposite ends of a big apartment building, their studios connected by a long attic passageway. They have argued, worked, and laughed together for decades. Yet they've never really stopped taking each other by surprise. Fair Play shows us Mari and Jona's intertwined lives as they watch Fassbinder films and Westerns, critique each other's work, spend time on a solitary island (recognizable to readers of Jansson's The Summer Book), travel through the American Southwest, and turn life into nothing less than art.

Tove Jansson (1914-2001) fue una escritora y artista finlandesa cuyos libros ilustrados para niños y ficción para adultos se han hecho famosos en todo el mundo. Es conocida principalmente por ser la creadora de los cuentos infantiles de los Mumin, así como de las tiras cómicas y los libros ilustrados que le siguieron, y por El libro de verano , una novela considerada un clásico de la ficción nórdica. Sin embargo, destacó en diversas disciplinas literarias y artísticas, alcanzando fama temprana como una joven y prometedora pintora y dibujante, y, posteriormente, como autora de novelas, cuentos, poemas y obras de teatro para radio y teatro. Incluso escribió canciones.

El enfoque de Tove Jansson hacia el trabajo, al igual que su enfoque hacia la vida, era sincero y vital. Buscaba la originalidad y la frescura, creando prosa e imágenes llenas de color, con talento para la narración y valores humanos e inclusivos. Su amor por la naturaleza es una constante, especialmente por el mar que rodeaba la isla finlandesa donde pasaba los veranos.

Tove Marika Jansson nació el 9 de agosto de 1914 y murió el 27 de junio de 2001. Su tumba se encuentra en el cementerio de Hietaniemi en Helsinki, Finlandia.
