Where can I find the text of Pippi Longstocking?

[sapporozoe]

Now I have the audios for the book but I cannot find the text. Is it available online? Thanks.

If it was online somewhere, it would be against copyright laws. Why don't you simply buy the book?

Unfortunately you'll have to wait another 60-70 years until it's released to the public domain*, but you can probably find it in a filesharing network if you really want. Otherwise you'll have to pay for the book.

* - Which, by the way, is RIDICULOUSLY RETARDED. I just had to let that out of me.

Isn't it free after 70 years? Then it'd be less than 10 years left.

The problem is that the book in original language is not available in our country...I can only get the translated one:(

70 years after the death of the author. Which was like five years ago or something.

70 years after the death of the author.

And not even that if someone claims continued copyright (like, the heirs, the publisher, whoever) as far as I know.

@ sapporozoe: Couldn't you order a book from a foreign country? Any restrictions on that in China? (I'm sorry, I really don't know much about that.)

[sapporozoe]

No restrictions on that:) I will go to Stockholm this August and will buy it then. I only wanted to find some Swedish texts to learn...

Oh, okay. That seems more reasonable. Otherwise you could lose the right of your book when you're still alive!

I'll take that comment as being sarcastic, so I won't turn this into a thread about the ridiculous copyright laws.

Yes, it was sarcastic. I can't believe I didn't think of this possibility with my assumption that the copyright is lost 70 years after the book was completed. I mean, you could publish it when you're 20 and live past 90 years old.

[nighean-neonach]

Write your own books first, and then talk about the "ridiculous" copyright.

This is Pippi Långstrump today:

Inger Nilsson (1959-), actress of Pippi Långstrump.

The Pippi films and tv series were made around 1970, i.e. some 35-40 years ago. But what few know today is that there was actually a Pippi movie made in 1949, i.e. 20 years earlier and only a couple of years after the first book was published. (The Finland-swede Viveca Serlachius (1923-1993) played Pippi.) There was also a non-swedish movie The new adventures of Pippi Longstocking made in 1988 and there was a cartoon made some 10 years ago.

Hereis a website with a timeline of Inger Nilsson with links to articles and pictures of here from different time periods. Quite interesting to see how fashion changes and how one ages.

We had cartoon here but I was a little too old by then to watch it.
The smile on miss Nilsson is amazing.

Yeah, her face is extremely expressive.
