The Bread of Life by Halldor Laxness Translated by Magnus Magnusson
Halldór Kiljan Laxness (1902 – 1998) was a twentieth-century Icelandic writer. Laxness wrote poetry, newspaper articles, plays, travelogues, short stories, and novels. Major influences included August Strindberg, Sigmund Freud, Knut Hamsun, Sinclair Lewis, Upton Sinclair, Bertolt Brecht and Ernest Hemingway. In 1955 he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature; he is the only Icelandic Nobel laureate. He published his first novel at the age of 17, the beginning of a long literary career of over 60 books, including novels, short stories, poetry, and plays. He continued to write essays and memoirs throughout the 1970s and into the 1980s of which this is a part. This book is gloriously illustrated by Snorri Sveinn Fridriksson (1934-1999), an eminent Icelandic artist with a prominent display at the Reykjavík Art Museum. He was also the Production Designer on several Hollywood movies in the 1970s. Magnús Magnússon, KBE (1929 – 2007) was an Icelandic-born British-based journalist, translator, writer and television presenter. He came to prominence as a BBC television journalist and was the presenter of the BBC television quiz programme Mastermind for 25 years. Magnusson translated a variety of books from modern Icelandic and Old Norse into English. Among these are several works by Laxness. This book is very hard to find.
