Lars Bäckström (1925 – 2006) – Tove Jansson (1914 – 2001)

Under välfärdens yta. Litterärt under femtitalet. Uppsatser av Lars Bäckström

Cover illustrations by Tove Jansson, the creator of the Moomins. The book handles Swedish-language litterature in the 1950’s. A whole chapter is dedicated to the analysis of Tove Jansson’s Moominbooks. This article is contemporary litterature analysis since most of the Moomin books were written and published precisely in the 1950s.

Stockholm, Rabén & Sjörgen, 1959. 286, (1) pp. Softcover with publisher’s pictorial wrappers. Tove Jansson’s illustration on the book itself and the wrappers. Very good condition. One brown stain on the back cover and light creasing on the edges. Otherwise an excellent copy with uncut pages.
