Synopsis

The beginning of literature is the memory, its place is the edge of the world. The landscapes of Iceland and the Faroe Islands, which are designed in clear lines in Klaus Böldl's book, are also places of memory in their apparent distance: a homestead by the sea, an unusually shaped rock become the crystallization point of a narrative that unmistakably leads back to the pagan Viking age. "The Far Islands" is not a classic travel report, but a poetic summon of the North Atlantic island world - a book in which the timelessness of the landscape and the stories of its inhabitants meet in the medium of narrative into a magical unit.
