In half-heartedness and in earnest. Episodes on scholarship, poetry, cultural history, world affairs, and Strange People for 85 years. A collection of lectures and papers by ethnographer Árni Björnsson.
This book by Árni Björnsson contains a selection of articles, talks, and essays on a variety of topics. It includes lectures and talks that the author has given throughout the last half century.


The author covers a wide range of topics, including Icelandic scholarship and cultural history, international affairs and politics in Iceland and abroad – writing, among other things, a kind of political biography. The book provides insight into the work and life of Árni Björnsson, a widely traveled intellectual with popular roots, but also sheds light on the circumstances, issues and attitudes of an entire generation.
