Jónsbók. The story of Jón Ólafsson, the entrepreneur. Compiled by Einar Kárason.
One of the nation's leading writers candidly records the story of one of the most colorful entrepreneurs in Iceland in recent decades. Jón Ólafsson's career is the most fairytale-like, from his time as an overactive town-dweller in Keflavík to his rise to the ranks of Iceland's wealthiest men. Gradually, he becomes more involved in Icelandic business life and often finds himself in opposition to powerful parties who are hostile. This is a great, exciting and dramatic story. Einar Kárason draws on detailed interviews with a number of people who have been involved in Jón's story, both friends and enemies, and contemporary events and characters come to life in an entertaining and lively narrative - and much is revealed here that will surprise the nation. (Bókatíðindi 2005).
