According to their official biography, “Prometey is a new publishing house that aims at the comprehensive development of the individual.” In fiction, nonfiction, and children’s, they seek the betterment of humanity through both Ukrainian and foreign titles that can help us all in times of strife.
Tove Jansson (1914-2001) is the brilliant creative genius behind the famous Moomin IP. This biography details her long, colourful and productive life, along with her significant impact on the political, social and cultural history of 20th-century Finland. And while millions of children have grown up with Little My, Snufkin, Moomintroll and the many creatures of Moominvalley, the life of Jansson – daughter, friend and companion – is more touching still. This book weaves together the myriad qualities of a painter, author, illustrator, scriptwriter and lyricist from fraught beginnings through fame, war and heartbreak and ultimately to a peaceful end.
