Descrição do Produto
A new translation of Nobel Prize-winning author Halldór Laxness''s masterpiece
Late one snowy midwinter night, in a remote Icelandic fishing village, a penniless woman arrives by boat. She comes with her daughter, the young but gutsy Salka Valka. The two must forge a life in this remote place, where everyone is at the mercy of a single wealthy merchant, and where everything revolves around fish.
After her mother''s tragic death, Salka grows into a fiercely independent-minded adult - cutting off her hair, educating herself and becoming an advocate for the town''s working class. A coming-of-age story, a feminist tale, a lament for Iceland''s poor - this is the funny, tender, epic story of Salka Valka.
''Laxness is a poet who writes to the edges of the pages, a visionary who allows us a plot'' Daily Telegraph
TRANSLATED BY PHILIP ROUGHTON
