The Book of Reykjavik

Iceland is a land of stories; from the epic sagas of its mythic past, to its claim today of being home to more writers than anywhere in the world. Reykjavik, a fishing-village-turned-metropolis, has been both revered and reviled by Icelanders, with tension rising between the city and the surrounding countryside, its rural past and urban present.

Islanda este un taram al povestilor; de la saga epice ale trecutului sau mitic, pana la pretentia sa de astazi de a fi acasa la mai multi scriitori decat oriunde in lume. Reykjavik, un sat de pescari devenit metropola, a fost atat venerat, cat si insultat de islandezi, tensiunea crescand intre oras si mediul rural din jur, trecutul sau rural si prezentul urban.
