This brief novel tells the story of Sophia, a six-year-old girl awakening to existence, and Sophia's grandmother, nearing the end of hers, as they spend the summer on a tiny unspoiled island in the Gulf of Finland. The grandmother is unsentimental and wise, if a little cranky; Sophia is impetuous and volatile, but she tends to her grandmother with the care of a new parent. Together they amble over coastline and forest in easy companionship, build boats from bark, create a miniature Venice, write a fanciful study of local bugs. They discuss things that matter to young and old alike: life, death, the nature of God and of love. \"On an island,\" thinks the grandmother, \"everything is complete.\" In \u003ci\u003eThe Summer Book\u003c\/i\u003e, Jansson creates her own complete world, full of the varied joys and sorrows of life. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTove Jansson, whose Moomintroll comic strip and books brought her international acclaim, lived for much of her life on an island like the one described in \u003ci\u003eThe Summer Book\u003c\/i\u003e, and the work can be enjoyed as her closely observed journal of the sounds, sights, and feel of a summer spent in intimate contact with the natural world. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Summer Book\u003c\/i\u003e is translated from the Swedish by Thomas Teal.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTove Jansson\u003c\/b\u003e (1914-2001) was born in Helsinki into Finland's Swedish-speaking minority. Her father was a sculptor and her mother a graphic designer and illustrator. Winters were spent in the family's art-filled studio and summers in a fisherman's cottage on the shore of the Gulf of Finland, a setting that would later figure in Jansson's writing for adults and children. Jansson loved books as a child, and set out from an early age to be an artist; her first illustration was published when she was fifteen years old; four years later a picture book appeared under a pseudonym. After attending art schools in both Stockholm and Paris, she returned to Helsinki, where in 1940s and '50s she won acclaim for her paintings and murals. From 1929 until 1953 Jansson drew humorous illustrations and political cartoons for the left-leaning anti-Fascist Finnish-Swedish magazine \u003ci\u003eGarm\u003c\/i\u003e, and it was there that what was to become Jansson's most famous creation, Moomintroll, a hippopotamus-like character with a dreamy disposition, made his first appearance. Jansson went on to write about the adventures of Moomintroll, the Moomin family, and their curious friends in a long-running comic strip and in a series of books for children that have been translated throughout the world, inspiring films, several television series, an opera, and theme parks in Finland and Japan. Jansson also wrote novels and short stories for adults, of which \u003ci\u003eSculptor's Daughter\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Summer Book\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eSun City\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Winter Book\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eFair Play\u003c\/i\u003e have been translated into English. In 1994 she was awarded the Prize of the Swedish Academy. Tove Jansson and her companion, the artist Tuulikki Pietilä, continued to live part-time in a cottage on the remote outer edge of the Finnish archipelago until 1991. \u003cb\u003eKathryn Davis\u003c\/b\u003e has received the Janet Heidinger Kafka Prize, the Morton Dauwen Zabel Award from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, and a Guggenheim Fellowship.

A man comes across a company called Emotional Solids that sells emotions as material products--love as a piece of chocolate, sadness as a smooth stone, anger as a glass paperweight--and tries to understand why people would want to purchase any negative emotions.

In a future utopian society where gene selection has been made uniform and all those with imperfections are cast aside, one woman seeks the truth about the history of her isolated world.

This short story is regarded as an important early work of American feminist literature, illustrating attitudes in the 19th century toward women's health, both physical and mental. Presented in the first person, the story is a collection of journal entries written by a woman whose physician husband (John) has rented an old mansion for the summer. Forgoing other rooms in the house, the couple moves into the upstairs nursery. As a form of treatment, the unnamed woman is forbidden from working, and is encouraged to eat well and get plenty of exercise and air, so she can recuperate from what he calls a \"temporary nervous depression - a slight hysterical tendency\", a diagnosis common to women in that period. Gilman used her writing to explore the role of women in America at the time. She explored issues such as the lack of a life outside the home and the oppressive forces of the patriarchal society. Through her work Gilman paved the way for writers such as Alice Walker and Sylvia Plath.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.04 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 06, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46055341752506,"sku":"9781684222278","price":7.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0768\/5727\/8650\/files\/V2RxTmRHY2g0OTR0N0pxZXliWVM3dz09.webp?v=1782565072"},{"product_id":"bel-canto-paperback","title":"Bel Canto - Paperback","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/reportcopyrightinfringement.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eReport copyright infringement\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp\u003eby \u003cb\u003eAnn Patchett\u003c\/b\u003e (Author)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWinner of the PEN\/Faulkner Award - Winner of the Orange Prize - National Book Critics Circle Award Finalist - \u003cem\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/em\u003e Readers' Pick: Top 100 Books of the 21\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003csup\u003e\u003cstrong\u003est\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e Century\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\"\u003cem\u003eBel Canto\u003c\/em\u003e is its own universe.
