| Description | *BY THE WINNER OF THE NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATURE* 'Laxness at his best- a reminder of the mad hilarity of the Icelandic sensibility. An endearing and unforgettable voice' Nicholas Shakespeare Abandoned as a baby, Alfgrimur is content to spend his days as a fisherman living in the turf cottage outside Reykjavik with the elderly couple he calls grandmother and grandfather. There he shares the mid-loft with a motley bunch of eccentrics and philosophers who find refuge in the simple respect for their fellow men that is the ethos at the Brekkukot. But the narrow horizons of Alfgrimur's idyllic childhood are challenged when he starts school and meets Iceland's most famous singer, the mysterious Garoar Holm. Garoar encourages him to aim for the 'one true note', but how can he attain it without leaving behind the world that he loves? 'It is a novel (a world) that transmits something of the wonder of life' Murray Bail | | Release Date | 2001 | | Author | Halldór Laxness | | Format | Dimensions 13.1x20.0x1.7 cm
