The Lava People. A Tale from the Blue Forest. A novel by Björn Th. Björnsson.
Snorrabúð was a farm in the early 19th century when this story takes place. Páll Þorláksson was then a priest in Þingvellir parish. He pretends to see that not everything is according to Christian custom on the farm Skógarkot, where Kristján Magnússon holds the power of the landlord. It seems clear that Magnús' wife cannot be the mother of all the children he fathers in his farm. This leads to several disputes between the wealthy farmer and the Þingvellir clergy, and the clergy's power is for a long time limited in this business.
From this material, Björn Th. Björnsson has put together a delightfully entertaining and artfully woven novel with unforgettable characters and the captivating style that readers know from his previous books. In Björn's treatment, Þingvellir appears to readers in a new and unexpected way, and the story provides insight into the diverse human life in this harsh place before it was enveloped in the sacredness of the struggle for independence.
