I was a hidden child. "Whose family are you, you bastard?" A look at an eventful life marked by relentless self-preservation. Karl Oluf Bang tells the story.
Karl Oluf was born as the illegitimate son of a young Danish nurse and was kept in hiding in orphanages far from his relatives. At the age of five he moved to Iceland to live with his mother and stepfather, Sigvald Kaldalón, a doctor and composer. The book is a collection of portraits rather than a continuous biography, and although Karl Oluf was more Icelander than Dane, he views Icelandic life with the discerning eye of a visitor.
