A collection of essays by Guðmundur Finnbogason. \u003cbr\u003eGuðmundur Finnbogason is seventy when he publishes Huganir sína, a collection of articles from forty years ago. \"When I now read these thoughts in sequence,\" he says in the preface, \"they seem to me to be elements of the same effort, as if I had always been patting the same stone.\" After all, it is true that although Guðmundur's subject matter has changed somewhat over his long life, his own attitude and spiritual dignity have remained unchanged.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eHe is as optimistic in his seventies as he was in his youth, as willing to trust his reason to grapple with the deeper arguments no less than with everyday phenomena like the facial makeup of young girls. He also seems equally willing to believe that what is true and right, beautiful and good must triumph in the end. He certainly believes that the ideal of womanhood that he draws from the depths of antiquity, the Áslaugar nature, will ultimately be richer than the still older savage nature of woman, which appears in the facial makeup. And anyone who reads his description of Áslaugar will have a hard time resisting believing with him. If there is any difference, it would be that whereas in the earlier articles Guðmundur preaches the gospel of science and education, heroism and a joy for work, in a word: the manhood of those who are wise and improving, in the later articles he grapples with even deeper arguments in the articles \"True, beautiful and good\" (1936), \"Faith and science\" (1936) and \"That which is born of the spirit\" (1941), in the hope that he will be able to see beneath the surface even more lasting values ​​than are otherwise obvious to most people. But the spiritual vivacity, the wit and the wit and the wisdom in Icelandic literature, old and new, are always similar to themselves in Guðmundur's writings. Funnier articles than, for example, \"The Demon and the Barn Man\", or \"The Thorskhausarsinr and the Nation\" will be sought, but all of Guðmundur's humor is accompanied by a certain seriousness. There will also be a search for more eloquent articles in the Icelandic language than the article \"On 'akta'-skrift\", as it has long been rightly considered one of Guðmundur's most perfect articles. However, I believe that Icelanders have no better moral sermon than the article on \"Boyhood\", as Guðmundur shows nowhere better than in it how Icelanders still lie with strong leaders in ancient times.","brand":"Bókin.is","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51125482062152,"sku":"OSC-29811","price":3900.0,"currency_code":"ISK","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0916\/4029\/9848\/files\/68037.jpg?v=1754808950","url":"https:\/\/www.bokin.is\/en\/products\/huganir-68037-29811","provider":"bokin.is","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
