Description:
E-335: Helgafell. Very Good. 1972. Hardcover. Hardcover. 8vo. Published by Helgafel, Reykjavik, Iceland. 1972. 268 pgs. First English Edition/First Printing. DJ has light shelf-wear present to the DJ extremities. Bound in cloth boards with titles present to the spine and front board. Boards have light shelf-wear present to the extremities. No ownership marks present. Text is clean and free of marks. Binding tight and solid. Halldór Laxness, 1902-1998, was Iceland's greatest and most versatile writer; in 1955, his extraordinary talent was recognised, and he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature. This late novel concerns a naive young man, despatched by the Bishop of Iceland to a village at the foot of a glacier to determine whether Christianity is still practised there. He (of course! ) finds that paganism is rife, and must grapple with questions of authority and humiliation. EB; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 268 pages .
