MOSCOW. The publishing house "Hummingbird" published a biography of a wonderful children’s writer "Astrid Lindgren. This day is life. ”

The lack of a detailed and frank biography hardly greatly confused the famous writer. The concept of privacy was not an empty phrase for her. For dozens, Lindgren kept the secret of the birth of the eldest son, the history of relations with his father, personal details not intended for the eyes of others. She protected her family from too annoying attention of fans or ill-wishers and an unceremonious invasion of her world. The book of Jens Andersen (Jens Andersen) delicately opens the curtain of more than one secret. Some reviewers accuse the biography of a certain detachment and a little more neutrality in describing the zigzags of the fate of a wonderful woman than some admirers of her talent would like.

But does a person with a developed imagination and a tendency to reflection need someone’s excessive emotions and subjective delights. Andersen does not impose his opinion, thereby not interfering with his own. Scrupulous monitoring of all available sources - library collections, archives, transcripts, paper and electronic media - allowed him to introduce the reader to many unknown or little-studied pages of Astrid Lindgren’s biography. To recognize her as very young, who was able to adequately survive the painful separation from her tiny son, the dramatic breaks in adulthood, and early widowhood. To get acquainted with her records of the war years, to learn about the background of the appearance of her books.

Lindgren’s daughter, Karin Nyman, recalls that neither the narrator’s talent, nor her experience as a journalist, nor writing stories for Christmas magazines was the impetus for writing. First-grader Karin became seriously ill in 1941 and was forced to observe bed rest. Sad and bored, she asked her mother to tell her a story about Pippi Långstrump. The book about the cheerful little red-haired girl became a bestseller and was translated, like all other Astrid books, into dozens of languages. Lindgren’s wisdom, perseverance during periods of difficult trials, the ability to bear losses with equal dignity, loneliness and fame are an example and support for many. As well as the main postulate of her life philosophy: to live every day, as the one and only, to enjoy it, using every second.
