Buch Details
This is a novel of immense charm... It's a book of ideas, like no other Laxness ever wrote -- Susan Sontag
Under the Glacier is hilarious, in a deadpan, northern-edge-of-the-world sort of way -- Andrew O'Hehir ? Salon
Whimsical... deliriously funny... impishly chaotic ? Kirkus Reviews
Under the Glacier is a journey to the center of Laxness's antic imagination, and it is well worth the trip -- Vincent Czyz ? The Arts Fuse
Halldór Laxness (1908-98) was born near Reykjavik, Iceland. His first novel was published when he was seventeen. The undisputed master of contemporary Icelandic fiction and one of the outstanding novelists of the twentieth-century, he wrote more than sixty books. Laxness was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1955.
