Behind the mountains. Guðmundur Einarsson from Miðdalur tells the story.
A good copy, signed.
The itinerant artist Guðmundur Einarsson from Miðdalur, publishes 16 travelogues and stories here. The book shares memories from his childhood and travels through Lapland, Finland and the Alps, as well as various adventures that the author had during his student years in Munich and elsewhere.
Guðmundur's style is picturesque, clear and lively. The reader is his traveling companion through the valleys of the Alps, the shores of the Baltic Sea and the coves of the Istrian peninsula, dances with the beautiful-eyed maidens of the metropolis, hears the arrival of the reindeer king crow his magic and looks into the magic mirror of the goddess Sambana at the foot of the Dolomites.
But Guðmundur also does well to describe Icelandic winter journeys, birds on the heath pond and his trees in the town meadow. (Cover text).
