Christine Nöstlinger was an Austrian writer best known for children's books.

By her own admission, Nöstlinger was a wild and angry child. After finishing high school, she wanted to become an artist, and studied graphic arts at the Academy of Applied Arts in Vienna. She worked as a graphic artist for a few years, before marrying a journalist, Ernst Nöstlinger, with whom she had two daughters.

The majority of Nöstlinger's production is literature for children and for young people, and she also writes for television, radio and newspapers. She centres on the needs of children in her work, with an anti-authoritarian bent. She does not shy away from tackling difficult subjects like racism, discrimination and self-isolation.

Her first book was Die ...more

Quotes by Christine Nöstlinger (?)

“Більшість речей у житті отримуєш тоді, коли вже їх не хочеться.”
― Christine Nöstlinger, Gretchen Sackmeier³

“Это было три недели назад во вторник, под вечер. Я был в центре города, в букинистическом отделе большого книжного магазина, и мне ужасно хотелось купить двухтомник Рэя Брэдбери. Но в кармане у меня даже завалящего геллера не было, потому что до того, в другом книжном, я уже купил несколько покетбуков. Все мои карманные деньги уходят на книги, но даже будь у меня в три раза больше денег, это бы ничего не дало. Столько карманных денег, чтоб хватило на все нужные мне книги, просто не бывает!”
― Christine Nöstlinger, Sowieso und überhaupt

“Мне кажется, фрау Поппельбауэр немного перегибает палку. Грипп — болезнь для жизни не опасная, и мой милый братец на одре болезни, кажется, чувствует себя преотлично. Все, что ему нужно для жизни, — а именно книги — у него есть.”
