Early years
Bernstein was born in Paris, of Russian Jewish descent. In 1952, bored by her studies at the nearby Sorbonne, she began to frequent Chez Moineau, a bar at 22 rue du Four. There she encountered a circle of artists, writers, vagabonds and petty criminals who were beginning to establish themselves as the Letterist International. With one of these, Patrick Straram, she toured Le Havre in August, 1952, in order to see the places upon which Jean-Paul Sartre's Nausea had been modelled.On 17 August, 195

Tove Jansson

Tove Jansson was born and died in Helsinki, Finland. As a Finnish citizen whose mother tongue was Swedish, she was part of the Swedish-speaking Finns minority. Thus, all her books were originally written in Swedish.

Although known first and foremost as an author, Tove Jansson considered her careers as author and painter to be of equal importance.

Tove Jansson wrote and illustrated her first Moomin book, The Moomins and the Great Flood (1945), during World War II. She said later that the war had depressed her, and she had wanted to write something naive and innocent. Besides the Moomin novels and short stories, Tove Jansson also wrote and illustrated four original and highly popular picture books.

Elisabeth Steinkellner

Elisabeth Steinkellner wuchs im südlichen Niederösterreich auf. Lange Zeit wünschte sie sich nichts sehnlicher, als Zirkusartistin zu werden. Als sie zwölf war und ihre Eltern immer noch keine Anstalten machten, sie in einer Kompanie unterzubringen, änderte sie ihre Pläne und wollte fortan Schriftstellerin werden. Oder Meeresbiologin. Oder Schaufensterdekorateurin. Nach dem Abitur kam es anders: Sie absolvierte eine Ausbildung zur Sozialpädagogin und ein Studium der Kultur- und Sozialanthropologie in Wien. Nebenbei entdeckte sie die Faszination des Zirkus von Neuem, schwamm in verschiedenen Meeren und dekorierte statt Schaufenstern ihre häufig wechselnden Wohnungen. Nur die Lust am Schreiben will sich in nichts anderes verwandeln lassen und
