The wonderful life of Lindgren, a world-famous writer who is well known in Korea for his 『Adventures of the Lion Kings』 and 'Pippi Longstockings' series, and a social activist who spoke hard for the fragile beings of the world, including children and women, was revived with strong handwriting. The process of a playful and courageous girl maturing into a being who can heal the wounds of many people and share their concerns unfolds in front of her eyes like a movie. Lindgren’s life, which began as a young woman and single mother who wanted intellectual work in the early 1900s, was faced with social violence and took the lead in confronting various oppressions and injustices towards minorities. will come
Beyond the fame of 'Pippi' and 'The Lion King Brothers'
A holistic look at the astrid Lindgren's wondrous life!
Astrid Lindgren is undoubtedly one of the leading fairy tale writers of the 20th century, but her life needs more modifiers and definitions. Lindgren is an environmental activist who sparked the Swedish anti-nuclear movement and animal welfare law debate, an activist who spoke out on child pornography and youth housing issues, a respected publication editor and a poignant commentator who criticized the Social Democrats' taxation policy and criticized the Social Democrats' tax policy in Sweden for the first time in 44 years. He was also a journalist who contributed to the change of government. In the turbulent 20th century, when many women around the world started chasing various dreams, breaking away from the traditional model of life, Lindgren actively changed herself in accordance with the progress of the times, especially with a more agile sense.
On the other hand, in Lindgren's seemingly courageous and unstoppable movements, depression and crisis always lingered like shadows. While soaking up the extroverted and progressive spirit of the times, she was emotionally unstable, and while she cut her hair short, wore a tie and trousers and cried out with all her body to make decisions about her body, she couldn't break free from loneliness and self-doubt. I fell out” (page 24), he muttered.
If We Are Not So Small and Lonely is a biography of Astrid Lindgren, a biography that focuses on the author's side, while also focusing on all the things that mattered in her life. Beyond the flat image of a 'world-class artist', she respects Lindgren's light and shadow in three dimensions, and also testifies to the existence of pain that she herself should have often denied. Through this, Lindgren's life, which has bloomed again in more colorful colors, will allow the reader to redefine the size of beauty and the scope of achievement that can be seen in a person's lifetime.
Astrid Lindgren is not only a writer who is loved across time and borders, but also an intellectual who has eloquently spoke about the dazzling success stories of real-world participation in order to correct “politics too important to be left only to politicians.” How can we not be fascinated by his life, who boldly broke the taboo of children's literature, saying, "Children should also experience shock through art" and practiced what we ought to do for those precious beings. -From "Translator's Words"
For those who are still small and marginalized
Solidarity and courage that transcends time
“At that time, I had no idea about contraception. So I had no idea how terribly irresponsible you were to me.” (page 70)
In 1926, at the age of 17, Lindgren became pregnant with the child of Reinhold Bloomberg, the owner and editor of Wimmerby Tining, a newspaper that had just dreamed of becoming an apprentice reporter at the time. Her sudden pregnancy involved not only her fatherly boss who was "extremely irresponsible", but also the society of the time, which was "extremely conservative" about sex. Lindgren, who was branded as a young woman pregnant with an out-of-wedlock in rural Sweden in the 1920s, when even advertisements for contraceptive devices were prohibited by law, face full-scale violence to restrain and control her physically and mentally.
However, Lindgren's steps were in a completely different direction from the one in which society had grabbed her and tried to drag her away. Instead of becoming the wife of a man she doesn't love, she leaves her hometown and gives birth in Denmark, where she "talks so badly about such trifles" (p. 71), leaving her child with a reputable foster mother there and moving to Stockholm, where she is deceived by herself. He learned to type and built his career.
It was other capable and thoughtful women who supported Lindgren's arduous journey. Eva Anden, Sweden's first female lawyer and active in legislative activities related to single mothers, assisted Lindgren, both physically and mentally, as she wanted to sever legal ties with Bloomberg. Ada Nilsson, who was a doctor and editor of the feminist magazine Tidebarbet, and Marie Stebbens, a talented foster mother who was a member of the Copenhagen foster mothers group in the 1920s, also gave Lindgren an indescribable support.
The more beautiful thing about 『If We Are So Small and Not So Lonely』 is that Lindgren, who has grown up thanks to solidarity with women, is presented as a helper and advocate for other underprivileged people. The history of Lindgren, whose life has been stabilized and his status has risen, is detailed and accurately portrayed in the past when he took the lead and voiced out for small and marginalized beings like himself. Beginning with her participation in the nuclear energy debate in the 1970s, Astrid Lindgren's struggles to raise her voice on child pornography, racism in public libraries, animal rights issues including seal hunting, and the lack of housing for young people are objectively and realistically revealed. Not only that, but also the fruits of Lindgren's victories, big and small, such as her decisive contribution to overthrowing the male-dominated government in the 1976 general election and her helping to enact an animal welfare law with a female veterinarian, Christina Forslund, in 1988. presented without any fuss.
The reporter wouldn't know how many times I've met smart, face-to-face, witty, passionate, angry women over the phone and in letters. About the women of Monismanien, the folklorist's story is just right. 'Women are tough, as strong as a donkey, and they bake a lot of raisin bread, but if you provoke them, they attack without delay.' That's it. Boys hanging out in the prime minister's residence should find a place to hide! Because women are loading pistols. - 398 pages
I am prepared to fight actively for women. In reality, there is only one sex, a man, that exists in the world. - page 433
Lindgren's values that he is always ready to share his pain by recognizing an unfair situation and fighting against it is fully reflected in the fairy tale, The Adventures of the Lion Kings, which passionately reflects the spirit of the 1970s revolution. Regarding the ending, which was praised and criticized at the same time, especially for dealing with death head-on, “Children are not afraid of death yet. I'm afraid of being left alone." Lindgren's thoughts, "The end of this book will be a happy ending for children," (p. 382) are embodied throughout his biography into values that support all minorities in the world. Skorpan's last line, "No one needs to be left alone and weep and tremble in fear," is a message of courage and solidarity to the small and marginalized beings still here and now. seep into
I can't imagine that you'll never be able to subdue people like us who are united to fight for freedom. - From 『The Adventures of the Lion King Brothers』
A soft and colorful biography full of literary inspiration
Jens Andersen is a biographer who is acclaimed for deeply and broadly dealing with the life of the subject person through careful investigation and warm interpretation. Astrid Lindgren's meticulous attention also shined in working on the biographies of Astrid Lindgren, as well as all published articles and interviews, as well as letters and diaries he wrote while he was alive, as well as short notes left on the household book and wooden benches. arranged. Lindgren's short writings are not only rich in storytelling, reflecting the ups and downs of personal life, the political situation in Sweden, and the changes in the international situation, such as World War II, but also lyrical expressions and unique descriptions are harmonized in their own words. It gives a great literary impression.
This biography also provides an opportunity to appreciate Astrid Lindgren's outstanding fairy tales more abundantly through authoristic analysis. In addition to the 'Pippi' series, which is the 'World's Strongest Girl' and 'The World's Most Famous Girl' series, 'Rasmus' series, 'Emile' series, 『Mio, My Mio』 and 『Adventures of the Lion Kings』 have been published in the history of children's literature. The overall story from the creative motives, writing process, and role model of the protagonists is explained in detail, expanding the range of beauty that readers can feel in Lindgren's literature.
In particular, the fresh and powerful part is the story of the author's writing of the fairy tale "Ronya the Bandit's Daughter," which deeply deals with the love and freedom felt in nature. The story of Ronya, a forest girl who spent days "full of life and happiness" and "full of life and happiness" and spending a sparkling summer with her friend 'Birk', blends naturally with the peace of Lindgren, who has reached old age. It unfolds like a watercolor painting. Jens Andersen links this to an article written by thirteen-year-old Astrid about intimacy with nature, in which the protagonist of a fairy tale, a writer from childhood, and an old writer have a conversation that is inaudible, like Ronya and Birk in Ronya's Daughter of the Bandit. help to share
The calm blue waves and the blue sky, the trees with red and yellow maple leaves, the starry evening, and the sadly beautiful sunset are so truly autumnal and fantastic, I can't help it. I dance in solitude for the joy of being completely alone. - page 413, from a letter to Annemarie
Newly born foxes came out of the burrow and rolled around in front of their noses. The squirrels were busily roaming at the top of the tree. I also saw rabbits jumping over the moss and disappearing into the bushes. The fisherman, who was soon to give birth, was lying peacefully in the sun basking in the nearby sun. They didn't touch the snakes, nor did the snakes touch them. - p. 420, from 『Ronya the Bandit's Daughter』
I don't know how I got here, but one winter morning I stood at the edge of the forest and heard the snow-covered trees looking down at me and saying:
“Little human child, what are you looking for here?”
I answered quietly.
“Perhaps the longing for you and the beauty of nature brought me here. Before the others rise, before the sun rises.”
I stood still for a while and pondered. I thought everything was so beautiful. ?421, from 13-year-old Lindgren's essay "The Road from Wimmerby to Kroen"
Throughout his biography, Jens Andersen illuminates and beautifully presents Lindgren's life and literature as a hidden participant in this wondrous dialogue. It is a valuable gift from two writers who have met through the ages to modern readers who can no longer write letters to Lindgren and receive replies or walk together in solidarity with her.
About the author
Jens Andersen (Author)
Danish biographer. He wrote biographies of Prince Frederick and Hans Christian Andersen. It is evaluated that it deals deeply and broadly with the life of the subject person through careful investigation and warm interpretation.
Kyunghee Kim (Translator)
While working for a newspaper and UNICEF Korean committee, I met people who love children. While studying in Sweden, he met Astrid Lindgren and fell in love with children's literature. He translated 『The Magic Hat and Moomins』, 『The Adventures of the Lion Kings』, 『Louis the Trumpet Swan』 and 『If We Are Not So Small and Lonely』. We dream that Lindgren's works will create miracles for us who are in desperate need of courage, wisdom, comfort and imagination.
