Before she became internationally known for her Pippi Longstocking books, Astrid Lindgren was an aspiring author living in Stockholm with her family at the outbreak of the Second World War. The diaries she kept throughout the hostilities offer a civilian's, a mother's, and an aspiring writer's unique account of the devastating conflict. She emerges as a morally courageous critic of violence and war, as well as a deeply sensitive and astute observer of world affairs. We hear her thoughts about rationing, blackouts, the Soviet invasion of Finland, and the nature of evil, as well as of her personal heartbreaks, financial struggles, and trials as a mother and writer.
"Es una mágica noche invernal. Una de esas noches en que la gente se acurruca en sus casitas al amor de la lumbre, sin nunca dejar que se apague el fuego del hogar. En lo más crudo del crudo invierno, las noches son oscuras y frías, pero el gnomo no duerme, se despierta para cuidar de la cuadra y del establo, del cobertizo y la despensa, deslizandose sigiloso entre las casas"-- P. 4 of cover.
