Wasteland with Words - A Social History of Iceland Magnusson Sigurdur GylfiPevná vazba
Iceland is an enigmatic island country marked by contradiction: it's a part of Europe, yet separated from it by the Atlantic Ocean; it's seemingly inhospitable, yet home to more than 300,000. Magn sson explains how a nineteenth-century economy based on the industries of fishing and agriculture--one of the poorest in Europe--grew to become a disproportionately large economic power in the late twentieth century, while retaining its strong sense of cultural identity. Wasteland with Words explores these paradoxes to uncover the mystery of Iceland.In Wasteland with Words Sigurdur Gylfi Magn sson presents a wide-ranging and detailed analysis of the island's history that examines the evolution and transformation of Icelandic culture while investigating the literary and historical factors that created the rich cultural heritage enjoyed by Icelanders today.
