AN INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER AND WINNER OF THE ICELANDIC LITERATURE
PRIZE "The Icelandic Dickens" Irish Examiner "Stefansson shares the
elemental grandeur of Cormac McCarthy" EILEEN BATTERSBY, T.L.S.
Supplement "A wonderful, exceptional writer . . . A timeless
storyteller" CARSTEN JENSEN "Sometimes, in small places, life
becomes bigger" Sometimes a distance from the world's tumult opens
our hearts and our dreams. In a village of four hundred souls, the
infinite light of an Icelandic summer makes its inhabitants want to
explore, and the eternal night of winter lights up the magic of the
stars. The village becomes a microcosm of the age-old conflict
between human desire and destiny, between the limits of reality and
the wings of the imagination. With humour, with poetry, and with a
tenderness for human weaknesses, Stefansson explores the question
of why we live at all. Translated from the Icelandic by Philip
Roughton
