The family history of Héðinn Valdimarsson tells the story of a remarkable people who left a strong mark on their time. True accounts of the daily lives of Reykjavík residents at the turn of the century 1900 reflect the atmosphere of the period and shed light on the ideals of Bríet Bjarnhéðinsdóttir and Valdimar Ásmundsson. Vivid images of the siblings' schoolmates and fellow travelers, Héðinn and Laufey, are brought to life, and Bríet's fight for a better world and increased women's rights, and Valdimar's incredible legal proceedings are told, from the beginning of class politics and the first attempts by workers to form unions. The author brings out sources that have not previously appeared in a book, including court documents that shed unexpected light on life in Reykjavík during the work's time, and takes readers on a memorable journey into a world that was.
