Tove Jansson nieodkryta. Dorosłe lęki, dziecięce schronienia

Abstract

The aim of the article is to outline some aspects of Tove Jansson’s writing in general, including the Moomin books and adult fiction (Sculptor’s Daughter, Fair Play, The Summer Book). The focus is on the relation between adulthood and childhood connected with danger – the opposite of safety. Child’s figure creates a link between autobiographical short stories, in which he or she is both the narrator and protagonist; and children books, in which a child is the point of reference and the reader.
