With permission from the President. Ideals, wit, zeitgeist. Leifur Hauksson chose the subject.
It could be said that the halls of the Althingi are where the drafts of Icelandic history are being written. Leifur Hauksson has now plowed through what has been said in the parliament's rostrum from the founding of the republic to the end of the 20th century.
From this diverse collection, he highlights speeches and replies by members of parliament that bear witness to flying eloquence, sharp intelligence and a subtle sense of humor, while at the same time providing a clear insight into the spirit of the times. With the permission of the President, it is both an informative and entertaining testimony to a world that was and is key to various major contemporary topics of discussion.
