 Íceland's Bell
(Islandsklukkan)
|
This is a historical novel of epic proportions.

(Sjálfsætt fólk) |
A grand epic about people's lives embedded in the history of Iceland. A brave and gripping tale about loss, preseverence. Never before has an author described in such beautiful detail the hardships of people. A book everyone should have read.
/Leo, 43, Netherlands
Lyrical epic of a person who is
almost too independent for his own good. The hardships endured
by early 20th century Icelanders are told with almost breathtaking
beauty. It gives a view into a world and way of life that is completely
different from my own.

World Light
(Heimsljós) |
'World Light' tells a story of a young man who wants to be a poet but is not very good at it. However he does not have much of a chance, and his short life is very sad. This affects me very strongly for some reason, that someone wants something very badly but cannot get it, and that each of his attempts is thwarted by the smallmindedness of other people. My friends think this book is depressing but I do not. I think it is very well written and worth reading, especially for other young people.
