Die Schrecken des Dreißigjährigen Krieges sind über Jahrhunderte im kollektiven Gedächtnis präsent geblieben. Millionen von Menschen kamen ums Leben, manche Gegenden im heutigen Deutschland und seinen Nachbarstaaten wurden regelrecht entvölkert. Ausgehend vom Schicksal eines schwedischen Zeitgenossen schildert Peter Englund, wie der Krieg die Kultur, die Gesellschaft und die Geschichte in Europa geprägt hat und wie er die Menschen formte, die in seinen Mahlstrom hineingezogen wurden. «Englund vollbringt das Kunststück, die Ereignisse dieses ersten europäischen Krieges von den Staubwolken zu befreien, um sie dem Leser fast greifbar nahezubringen.» Deutschlandfunk

As you probably know, in the winter Moomins always sleep, like dormice, from November to April, when the warm weather starts again. But one year something extraordinary happened to Moomintroll; he woke up and found he couldn't go back to sleep again. All the clocks had stopped ages ago, and a fine coat of dust covered everything ... There was nothing to eat and no one to talk to at home, so he went out - straight into the first snowdrift he had ever seen. The valley wasn't green any longer, it was white.

Here are nine delightfully funny stories about the citizens of Moominvalley.

Sur une colline, Moumine et ses amis trouvent un grand chapeau noir. Ils le rapportent fièrement à la maison, sans se douter que ce beau chapeau va provoquer une cascade d'événements rocambolesques dans toute la vallée. Parfois, le bonheur, c'est simple comme bonjour !

Knížka Velká povodeň, která přinesla vůbec první příběh o muminkovi a jeho mamince, kteří hledají tatínka a místo pro stavbu domu… Právě během něj zažijí mnohá dobrodružství, seznámí se s celou řadou roztodivných tvorů a narazí na překrásné údolí! A dál už se jedná o historii. Vychutnejte si knížku, kde se muminek na obrázcích sám sobě ještě příliš nepodobá, ale magie vyprávění Tove Janssonové už je přímo hmatatelná.

When the Moomin family members need a change of scenery, they decide to take up residence in a lighthouse. As they discover their new home, the family also discover surprising, and wonderfully funny, new things about themselves.

Moominpappa's adventures as described by himself!

A huge wave has crashed through the valley, flooding the Moomins out of their home! With their usual resilience, the Moomins and their friends move into the first house that comes bobbing along. It's strange-looking, like a big cave with curtains hanging on either side. And when the house bumps into dry land and Moomintroll and the Snork Maiden decide to spend the night on shore--then the adventure really begins. Moomintroll and the Snork Maiden get lost, and Moominpappa decides to write a play which they will perform in the house, in the hope that Moomintroll will hear about it and find his way home. "Moominsummer Madness," the fourth in Tove Jansson's classic series of books about Moominvalley, is enchanting and full of exciting adventures and surprises, some of them odd even by Moomin standards!

Moomintroll encounters a mouth-organist, a moth collector, and a lovely maiden, and discovers the danger of a threatening comet when he takes a journey to seek advice from the Professor.

Moominmamma and young Moomintroll search for the long lost Moominpappa through forest and flood, meeting a little creature (an early Sniff) and the elegantly strange Tulippa along the way.
