Paperback. Condition: New. Iceland is a land of stories; from the epic sagas of its mythic past, to its claim today of being home to more writers, more published books and more avid readers, per head, than anywhere in the world. As its capital (and indeed only city), Reykjavik has long been an inspiration for these stories. But, as this collection demonstrates, this fishing-village-turned-metropolis at the farthest fringe of Europe has been both revered and reviled by Icelanders over the years. The tension between the city and the surrounding countryside, its rural past and urban present, weaves its way through The Book of Reykjavik, forming an outline of a fragmented city marked by both contradiction and creativity. Includes a foreword written by award-winning Icelandic author Sjon. Translated from the Icelandic by Victoria Cribb, Philip Roughton, Lytton Smith, Meg Matich and Larissa Kyzer. Published with the support of the Icelandic Literature Center.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Gudmundur Andresson war ein isländischer Gelehrter des 17. Jahrhunderts. Damals beherrschte Dänemark Island. Der einfachen Verhältnissen entstammende Dichter und Denker war respektlos und witzig. Er geriet mit dem bigotten Puritanismus der Besetzer in Konflikt und wurde daraufhin im Blauturm, dem gefürchteten Kopenhagener Gefängnis, als politischer Gefangener eingesperrt. Thórarinn Eldjárn haucht der historischen Figur, von der wir nicht viel wissen, Statur und Leben ein. Im Gefängnis sinniert Andresson über sein Leben und rechnet mit seinen Widersachern ab. Gegen alle Formen der Unterdrückung leistete er stets Widerstand. Die sexuelle Verlogenheit der Hochmoral war ihm besonders zuwider. Missliebige Schulkameraden, hochnäsige Kirchenobere und ein gewalttätiger, einäugiger Schneider wollten ihn klein halten. Auf jedem Abschnitt seines Lebens war Andresson durch Neid und Eifersucht gebremst worden und konnte so den Erfolg nie erreichen, den er verdient gehabt hätte. Doch seine Klugheit und Stärke, seine Gewitztheit und sein Geist ließen ihn die Beschwernisse bezwingen. So erschafft Eldjárn in seinem historischen Roman eine lebenspralle Figur am Übergang vom mittelalterlichen Aberglauben zur befreienden Aufklärung. Ein Roman über prahlende Dänen und nörgelnde Isländer, audgeklärte Lebenslust und machtkranke Pessimisten am Rande des Nordatlantiks. Im Blauturm war bereits für mehrere Literaturpreise nominiert. Übersetzt wurde der Roman ins Englische, Französische, Dänische und Finnische.
