After coming through the blizzard that almost cost them everything,
Jens and the boy are far from home, in a fishing community at the
edge of the world. Taken in by the village doctor, the boy once
again has the sense of being brought back from the grave. But this
is a strange place, with otherworldly inhabitants, including
flame-haired Alfheidur, who makes him wonder whether it is possible
to love two women at once; he had believed his heart was lost to
Ragnheidur, the daughter of the wealthy merchant in the village to
which he must now inexorably return. Set in the awe-inspiring
wilderness of the extreme north, The Heart of Man is a profound
exploration of life, love and desire, written with a sublime
simplicity. In this conclusion to an audacious trilogy, Stefansson
brings a poet's eye and a philosopher's insight to a tale worthy of
the sagasmiths of old.
