The Utopia and the dream about a better world in the works of Tove Jansson In Tove Jansson’s works, books as well as illustrations, a fascinating world is created where friendship, caring for others and tolerance are central issues. Gerður Kristný talks to Katrín Jakobsdóttir, literary scholar and Prime Minister of Iceland, Margrét Tryggvadóttir, writer, graphic editor and former MP, Jón Yngvi Jóhannsson, lecturer at the University of Iceland, and the artist Ragnar Kjartansson about the sanctuary of imagination in Jansson’s works. Is this world an unattainable utopia, or is this perhaps the world we already live in, seen from a new perspective?
