Description Supposing Books Den ärliga bedragaren

Den ærlige bedrageren utspiller seg i en snekledd landsby i det nordlige Finland. Til å begynne med ligner det en historie om hvordan to kvinner fra hver sin generasjon utvikler et inderlig vennskap. Anna er en suksessfull og rik, men upraktisk og livsfjern eldre barnebokforfatter. Hun bor alene i et stort hus, opptatt med å male landskapsbilder. Katri er en ung, sterk og effektiv kvinne, som flytter inn for å gi en hjelpende hånd. Hun overtar snart styringen i huset, ordner opp i regnskapene og setter en stopper for folks forsøk på å snyte den gamle damen. Alt er et ledd i en listig uttenkt plan, men underveis skjer det en forvandling med dem begge, og spørsmålene reiser seg: Hvem er bedrageren og hvem er den ærlige? Hvem er vinner og hvem er taper i dette spillet mellom de to kvinnene?

Appraise About Books Den ärliga bedragaren

This is a perfect novel in the same way The Great Gatsby is a perfect novel. Not in the sense of "best" novel--but, in that it perfectly executes its intention, its reason to exist as a novel. Instead of a traditional protagonist-antagonist relationship there are two antagonists of equal and opposing strength at the heart of this novel. The only characteristic the two women share is the utter isolation each endures in daily life. While part of a community, they are set apart from that community,

This is a disturbing novel in an unfamiliar way. Jansson is highly adept here at exposing the mundane darknesses beneath small town life and everyday interactions. This is distinguished from, say, Lynchian darknesses behind the mundane in that there are no shocks or secrets to be exposed. Everything is intensely normal, just fraught with minor hypocrisies and polite ill-will, the kinds which most people must, presumably, ignore unthinkingly every day. And to have these things exposed so

My first thought after I completed this was, 'how do I describe this book?' I found it a bit of a struggle to pinpoint the exact plot of the book. After a first few attempts, I realized the whole point of the book was to leave the reader with very few answers and more questions.This was my introduction to Tove Jansson's books. The True Deceiver is about two women, both outcasts from the society. There's Katri Kling, who stays with her brother, Mat, above the grocery store. She is brutally

3.5 starsA hard-edged young woman on the fringes of society decides she wants what a local childrens book illustrator (a vague, reclusive and clueless woman) has, and sets out to get it according to her own peculiar moral code. Over the course of a long Finnish winter, both characters use each other, take from each other and perhaps become a little more like each other by the end.This novella is a quick read and an interesting one. But it is perhaps too literary for me it is all very subtle and

This is a short and claustrophobic book in every sense of the word. Not merely the setting of a small village with few inhabitants, but the emotional world of these characters as well. In particular, Anna and Katri. The former writes childrens books that feature cute drawings of rabbits with flowers growing on them. Its a world that has little connection to reality and neatly matches her own where she daydreams about her deceased parents all day while living in a house deep in the forest.

2.5 stars. I really wanted to like this book. Instead, I just admired it. It is an incredibly subtle, well told story that explores abstract ideas. The slow progression of the story and the characters is so well done as to be barely noticeable, like a plant that moves imperceptibly towards the sun over several weeks. The simplicity of her style, which in her other books created a deceptive openness, creates the opposite effect here by making everything veiled, hidden, mysterious and ominous. So

The True Deceiver may well be a perfect book. Not a word is wasted and nothing is dumbed down: it is, in turns, complex and subtle, psychologically astute, unsettling, and controlled.The language can only be described as spare: taut, minimalistic, precise. Take the opening lines: It was an ordinary dark winter morning, and snow was still falling. No window in the village showed a light. In a mere two sentences, Tove Jansson sets up an entire mood and introduces a sense of danger.The two key
