Madison: University of Wisconsin Press, 1969. First edition in English of this Icelandic author's satiric look at his homeland, not well-received there because of its "harshly ironic portrayal of a backward Iceland during the rise of capitalism"; Laxness won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1955. Stout hardcover, full blue cloth, silver titling. Light wear to book; name & note of the Director of the Press on the free endsheet: likely a file copy of the book; price-clipped jacket shows a few spots of foxing to the spine, tiny ink number 519 to rear panel, minor edgewear. Text clean; xvii, blank, 521 pages + list of other publications in the UW's Nordic Translation Series. A surcharge for international shipping of this oversize book will be required; please inquire for an accurate quote.. First American Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good/Good. Large Octavo.
