It Sleeps in the Deep. A novel by Guðberg Bergsson.
Guðbergur Bergsson is a Grindavík man who writes books. The novel, Tómas Jónsson, a bestseller, published in 1966, attracted attention as a groundbreaking work and is often considered the first modernist novel in Icelandic. His works have been translated into Bulgarian, Danish, Estonian, Finnish, French, Lithuanian, Norwegian, Spanish and German. Guðbergur is a special honorary citizen of Grindavík.
Guðbergur's father worked as a fisherman in the winter and a carpenter in the summer in Grindavík, where Guðbergur grew up. When Guðbergur was born, the Great Depression was over, and although things were rather bad in Grindavík, he says the atmosphere was good. Guðbergur worked as a fisherman in his younger years, but then graduated with a teaching degree from the Icelandic Teachers' College in 1955. He then traveled to Spain, where he graduated with a degree in Spanish studies, literature and art history from La Universidad de Barcelona in 1958. Guðbergur worked as an art critic for the weekly newspaper Helgarpósturinn in the early 1990s.
In 1992, the book Guðbergur Bergsson was published; a bestseller that is a kind of interview book, and a reference to Tómas Jónsson, a bestseller, Þóra Kristín Ásgeirsdóttir við Guðberg. Father and Mother and the Mystery of Childhood, which was published in 1997, is a kind of autobiography of Guðbergur. Guðbergur received the Icelandic Literary Prize for the novel The Swan in 1991 and for the fictional biography Father and Mother and the Mystery of Childhood in 1997. Guðbergur received the Nordic Prize of the Swedish Academy of Literature in 2004. Guðbergur received the Knight's Cross of the Order of Merit from the King of Spain.
In 1994, a play by Viðar Eggertsson was premiered, which he adapted from Guðbergur's Tanga books, "Äd sefur í djupinu", "Hermann og Dídí" and "Äd rís úr djupinu". Viðar directed the play himself and received the DV Cultural Award in 1995 for both. The National Theatre presented the play, which was called True Stories of the Souls of Sisters.
