Sinopsis
Excerpt from Lad and Lass: A Story of Life in Iceland; Translated From the Icelandic
German. In the present translation the effort has been to preserve not only the significance but the diction of the original, which in no small degree is conceived in the rugged simplicity of style of the old Icelandic literature. A poem of questionable taste has been omitted it is not essential to the narrative, and is fairly honoured in the breach. In the second edition of the story the change of plumage, to which the author alludes in his epilogue, is an interpolation of several pages descriptive of Indrid and Sigrid's wedding, and of the family life of Gudmund of Burfell after his marriage to an extrava gant merchant's daughter. It not only mars the symmetry of the tale as it appears in the first edition, but is, in the judgment of critical Icelanders, of de cidedly inferior literary merit, and it has therefore been omitted from the translation, which conforms, for the most part, to the original edition. With the exceptions noted, I have taken no intentional liberties with the text of the original.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book transports readers to the breathtaking landscapes of 19th-century Iceland, where ancient sagas and modern life intertwine. Against the backdrop of a changing rural society, the author masterfully crafts a tale centered around two neighboring families whose lives are subtly interconnected. As the story unfolds, we witness the challenges faced by a community grappling with shifting social structures and economic realities. The narrative delves into themes of tradition versus progress, exploring the tensions that arise as Iceland navigates the complexities of modernization. Through vivid descriptions of daily life, farming practices, and local customs, the author offers a window into a unique cultural tapestry. We encounter characters from all walks of life, each with their own aspirations, struggles, and perspectives on the evolving world around them. Central to the story is the nuanced portrayal of human relationships, particularly the bonds of family, friendship, and community. The author's keen observations of human nature and the complexities of social dynamics add depth and resonance to the narrative. By interweaving personal stories with broader societal issues, this book invites reflection on the enduring values and challenges that shape our lives, regardless of time or place. Ultimately, this book offers a poignant and thought-provoking exploration of the human spirit's resilience and adaptability amidst the ever-changing currents of history.
