Brotasilfur. Series by Björn Th. Björnsson.
Brotasilfur is a collection of elements from Icelandic cultural history and art.
The book is diverse, tells of ancient crafts, carvings and forging, traces the strange fate of two Icelandic artists and reveals glimpses of our cultural history from the past. The book also includes a chapter on one of the most unique works of art in the Northern Hemisphere, the Bayeux Tapestry, which has many connections to Icelandic literature and history. Many images of ancient works of art adorn the book.
Some of the material is adapted from talks the author has previously given on the radio, while others are original compositions for this book.
Björn Th. Björnsson has earned great popularity as a clever interpreter of Icelandic art and cultural history. His narrative style is distinguished by dignity and sophistication, and in his choice of subject matter he rarely treads well-trodden paths. (Cover text)
