Ak, kokia atgaiva vėl klausytis knygos įprastiniu stiliumi: tokiu šviesiu ir šmaikščiu. Šioji knyga - turbūt ryškiausiai įsiminusi iš vaikystės, jei skaičiuoti scenas: gėlių rinkimas ir pranašiškų sapnų sapnavimas, sudeginti "DRAUDŽIAMA!" ženklai ir pasėti hatifnatai, dvidešimt keturi Filifjonkos vaikai, pasviręs teatras, tad per laiką viena koja pasidarys ilgesnė už kitą.
Vis dėl to pats siužetas buvo visiškai užsimiršęs, tad buvo smagu prisiminti. Jis tipiškai muminukiškas - kažkas nutinka, su įvykiu kažkaip tvarkomasi, sutinkami nauji veikėjai, dalis jų lieka mumių slėnio gyventojais. Šioji knyga yra tarsi aidas pirmosios Mumių serijos knygos "Mumitrolden: De små trolde og den store oversvømmelse" - vėl potvynis, vėl šeima išsiskiria, jie vėl ieško vieni kitų.
Labai ryškūs veikėjai, kiekvienas su labai aiškiu savo tipažu, nors imk ir daryk testą ala MBTI. Ir dar galvoju, kad pypkiuojantis Snusmumrikas, be šios baisios nuodėmės dar ir išrovęs ir sudeginęs ženklą "Rūkyti draudžiama", yra labai senoviškas personažas. Šiais laikais tikriausiai visokie dorovės prievaizdai lieptų tai išbraukti iš knygos. Tad Snusmumrikas iš praėjusio šimtmečio vidurio protestuoja prieš šiandienines normas, nes šiame šimtmetyje to daryti jau negalėtų.
Sekanti serijos knyga - apie vidury žiemos pabudusį Muminuką "Troldvinter", nuo kurios ir pradėjau klausyti. Vis dėl to yra per daug knygų ir per mažai laiko, kad suklausyčiau antrą kartą, tad eisiu prie sekančios.

Probably my favourite of the Moomin books so far, and a perfect one to read in the heat of summer! Like usual, Jansson’s world-building is subtle yet perfect for the tone of the story she is writing - building upon parts of the world, character personalities, and even lore (Hattifatteners grow from seeds?!) - to create a story in which a flood that wipes out the entirety of Moomin Valley is actually a charming holiday, rather than the disaster it would be in any other novel.
The Moomin books are so good, and in many ways I’m happy that I managed to avoid reading them until I was an adult, to truly appreciate Jansson’s craft.

Deilig gjenlesing og jeg husker alle bildene i hodet fra da denne ble lest for meg av mamma.
Among warm and comforting books for children, this has to be one of the warmest. It takes its character from Moominmamma, who greets every new event (however seemingly problematic) as a delightful experience; for instance, when a rising sea floods her house, she's charmed by how unfamiliar the kitchen looks seen underwater from the ceiling. Furthermore, she has a supreme lack of worry, saying, "Only bad people fare badly." This faith is of course entirely justified in this book's world; in fact, even the house and garden are just as good as ever after being under the sea for weeks.
Moominmamma has a non-constraining, patient, and generous approach to child-raising that manages to almost never use the word "no". That seems to be Jansson's main underlying theme in all these books -- demonstrating how children around the Moomin family develop in moral sense and responsibility as if everything's their own idea. (Contrast with Little My's older sister, who constantly admonishes and threatens her, which has very little effect. Little My loves her sister, but might not turn out well if the Moomin house wasn't her second home. Worse are the regulated-down-to-the-last-square-flowerbed homes provided by Hemulens, both here and in [b:Moominpappa's Memoirs|8258821|Moominpappa's Memoirs (Moomintrolls)|Tove Jansson|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1276615193s/8258821.jpg|217461], where everything is "strictly forbidden", and children are silent, passive, and miserable.)
I was glad to see, though, that there's a hint of an own personality to Moominmamma, beyond being the perfect mother. She does have dreams and pleasures; indeed, it seems that letting children lead their own lives gives her space (mental, emotional, even physical) for dreaming, even though she's pretty busy feeding, clothing and emotionally supporting them.

Sarjan paras tähän mennessä. Kaikki palaset kohdallaan ja juonikin on sopivassa suhteessa päätöntä kohkaamista ja luontevasti eteneviä tapahtumia.

The Moomins get washed out of their house by a flood; Moominmamma and Momminpappa (and a host of other small creatures) take refuge in what turns out to be a theatre - initially to their total bemusement, because they have no idea what a theatre is; but it doesn’t stop Moominpappa from writing a play. Meanwhile Moomintroll and the Snork Maiden have been separated from the rest of the household and have a series of edventures culminating in a jailbreak with the neurotic Fillyjonk.
(The Snork Maiden’s brother seems to have been written out.) This book possibly draws most on Tove Jansson’s own somewhat Bohemian upbringing. Her father was a famous sculptor, her mother was an artist too; and she herself had a strong attraction to the theatre (Vivica Bandler was an actor) and was closely involved with the stage adaptations of the Moomin stories in her lifetime. But here she is at least partly laughing at herself, and looking at the theatre through the eyes of characters for whom it is completely new.
It’s played for laughs a bit more than the other books (though there are a couple of rather sad characters, to offset the jollity).
