Iceland at the turn of the century. A travelogue from the summer of 1899 by Friðrik J. Bergmann.
Reverend Friðrik looks Icelandic
matters, both spiritual and worldly, with a fatherly critical eye and then carries things
often in harmony with what he knows from America. And he is a man of manners. On
For example, in one place he says:
It doesn't take a sharp eye to see that church devotion in Iceland has gone
has been declining dramatically over the last 25-30 years. Unfortunately, it is not the best in the towns, where
which the people are much better off attending church. Because there are constant outings there
Sundays in all directions and then people try to take the day as early as they can
possible.
And he's not impressed with the approach to Reykjavik
When we arrived back at the capital, we began to notice the greatest multitude
of horse riders and many of them were quite drunk. Around Reykjavík there are sincere
a small place where wine is sold, and most of it is done on Sundays. But in itself
The town has very little to do with drinking, and that is two different things than it used to be, when no one
was to resist, and fame was considered to be the greatest brandy-drinking berserker.
