Pippi Longstocking was my hero when I was a little girl. Come on: the strongest girl in the world? who's richer than God? and lives by herself? with a horse? and a monkey?
I LOVED HER.
This is the book where Pippi goes on a picnic, gets shipwrecked, and is reunited with her father. I always get a lump in my throat at the end, whether I'm nine or twenty-nine ... or older.
The more I think about it, the more I realize that Pippi is a real feminist icon. She takes care of herself, she doesn't rely on any man (well, at nine years old, she's a little young to be a trophy wife anyway), she's generous but not a doormat, and she does pretty much whatever she wants.
On the other hand, she's not really a model of educational excellence, as is proven when she writes herself a letter. However, I too have found that "pluttification" is not a necessity in my real life.
She is just, but not cruel. In this book, Pippi rescues a horse from its master's whip, but she doesn't whip the master (like I would have). And she makes a horrible man pay for ruined hot dogs after doling out her special brand of justice.
So I guess the truth is right here: I STILL LOVE PIPPI LONGSTOCKING.

Kyllä vain Peppi Pitkätossu on ihastuttava, tässäkin.
Vaikka Peppi on ollut itsellenikin tuttu jo lapsuudesta, niin en ole jotenkin oikein osannut samaistua häneen tai saada ihan kiinni näistä tarinoista. Peppi on välillä tuntunut jopa hippasen ärsyttävältä. Mutta näin "aikuisen" silmin viehätyinkin tästä tosi kovasti.
Aion lukea Peppi Pitkätossu Etelänmerelläkin heti kun uusi suomennos julkaistaan.
Olen muuten pitänyt näistä suomennoksista kovasti, mutta toisaalta enpä voi väittää muistavani kovinkaan hyvin millaisia aiemmat suomennokset ovat (ellei joitain sanavalintoja huomioida). Erityistä tunnesidettäkään minulla ei Peppiin ole, joten uudet suomennokset uppoavat siinä, missä varmaan uppoaisivat vanhatkin.

Хорошая книга!
Но некоторые выходки Пеппи мне не понравились. И, вообще, [a:Astrid Lindgren|410653|Astrid Lindgren|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1194544214p2/410653.jpg] достаточно неоднозначная писательница и ей всё-таки лучше удаются лирические моменты, чем юмористические. Например, сцена отъезда Пеппи очень трогательная, до слёз!!! И сцена из первой книги, когда Пеппи спасает детей из горящего дома, тоже превосходна! А вот смешные моменты совсем не смешные и даже не милые! Да и приключений - кот наплакал.

"Pippi doesn't really lie. She just lies for fun. She makes up things. Don't you understand?"
Pippi is just as rude and obnoxious as I remember. Nonetheless, her stories remain kidlit classics. They're showing their age though.
