Men who sprinkle people with every foot

With a new book club in question, the goal is to get people of all ages to study informative books that can deepen our understanding of society and the events that shape it at any given time.

Everyone has a history of composition with books. It is inevitable in a country where a lot of reading and book publishing are laid out. It tells its story that in the newly -launched book market of the Icelandic Book Publishers, over 100 thousand books have been sold. News of the death of the book is greatly exaggerated, so quoted indirectly to Oscars Wilde.

The children’s books are the first stop

It is particularly gratifying to keep track of how much growth is in children’s book publishing in Iceland. They are the first and most important contact area with future readers. For a long time, the first type lives, is said and fully applied when it comes to book reading.

Here you can register in the Spur Library.

Also, the tastes of people change in books and the ability to cope with longer and more complex texts increase in proportion to pursuit. Therefore, it is important to read and read a lot.

The Sponsor’s supervisor is Stefán Einar Stefánsson and he also oversees the book club that is taught by the episode.

Books that stand the heart near

He has lost some books that are close to his heart, but his brief review of those books can be seen in the player above.

There are books such as:

The adventure of Dagfinn veterinarian who contains stories from the doctor who studied animal language. Hugh Kitting is the author of this wonderful book that has been victorious around the world and has for decades been read for children of all ages.

Short stories occupy a significant place in the book culture of Icelanders. This applies equally to translated works and original in Icelandic. Among the short stories that Stefán mentions is the journey that has never gone. She is the work of Sigurður Nordal and has inspired many Icelanders in recent decades.

Fiction and national information

Icelandic fiction in further form expires like hot lumps for Christmas every year. A book that has influenced Stefán Einar is the winter trip by Ólaf Gunnarsson. She discusses a young woman who is in great trouble in the Second World War. Ólafur himself has said that the book is his own version of the classic work, Job Book, which is preserved in the Old Testament.

And all Icelanders get to know the Icelandic sagas in one way or another. Stefán’s favorite is the Foster Brotherhood, which tells of the roasters of Thorgeir and Thormod who go a long way and let no one have anything inside. Those who get to know the Foster Brotherhood must also be smuggled by Gerpla Halldór Laxness. There goes his own version, a parody of the story of ancient times.

Stefán also mentions information from the foreign arena. Gives from the shelf a book by Canadian journalist Mark Kurlansky. For a long time, he published the book Cod: A biography of the fish that changed the world. The subject is very connected to Iceland and the history of Icelanders. Finally, a goal talks to Icelanders and often comes to the Icelandic waters in the narrative inside. The book was translated into Icelandic at the time, but here is the original text.

World that was

And of national information. Stefán Einar mentions the book Icelandic Ethics that the priest and scholar Jónas Jónasson from Hrafnagil wrote but came out to him dead. There you will find tremendous information about the way of life of Icelanders in the past centuries. Most of what Icelanders are facing today is somewhat related to the world discussed there.

Who is the greatest Icelanders?

Finally, Stefán Einar mentions the biography of Snorri Sturluson by Óskar Guðmundsson. He does not tell the biography the best he has read, far from it. But it should be taken into account in light of the fact that she discusses the most important Icelander ever – in his opinion. Snorri shaped the book culture of Icelanders decisively and probably in a more profound way than anyone else, sooner and later. He therefore appoints an honor when discussing book clubs and interest in reading.
