Angantýr. Memories of him. Adventures and poems from him. Elín Thorarensen tells about her acquaintance with Jóhann Jónsson. The afterword is written by Soffía Auður Birgisdóttir.
Here Elín Thorarensen tells of her love affair with poet Jóhann Jónsson in the early 20th century. Many people disapproved of their relationship and tried to prevent the story from being read. The story is interwoven with descriptions of Reykjavík's social life and accounts of many of the leading artists of the time. Also worth seeing are Jóhann's adventures that have never been published before.
The book not only tells the story of the love affair between Angantý and Brynhildur, as Elín and Jóhann called each other, but also provides an entertaining insight into the artistic community of the first half of the twentieth century. Both she and Jóhann had contact with many of the nation's better-known artists, many of whom are mentioned in the story.
