Sæmd. A novel by Guðmundur Andri Thorsson.
On a cold winter evening in 1882, poet Benedikt Gröndal sits in his quaint house and decides to pull himself up from his drinking and daydreams. This charming and exceptionally well-written story is based on real events and characters, and they are used to paint a moving picture of expressive people and human life at a sensitive time in the nation's history. But Sæmd is also a story about crime and punishment, courage, the nature of power, class division, the role of the poet in society – and honour. (Bókatíðindi 2013).
