Swap Days. Lunch for a New Generation. By Guðrún Nordal.
New generations are looking into a future that will be completely different from our present. What treasures – memories, stories, and experiences – will they take with them from the treasure trove of the past?
Skiptidagar is the author's personal journey through Icelandic history and literature, from the time of the settlement to the present day. It asks what lessons we can learn from the stories of the ages about ourselves and how we can communicate them in a new century. The author emphasizes the stories of women in all eras and always draws comparisons to the present to show that history is one and everything is connected.
Guðrún Nordal is the director of the Árna Institute and a professor at the University of Iceland. She has been researching Icelandic medieval literature for thirty years, and for many years she worked on shaping scientific policy in Iceland and in the Nordic region.
In the book, these themes of hers intertwine.
