He was the eldest child of his parents, Gunnar Helgi Gunnarsson and Katrín Þórarinsdóttir. The family moved to Ljótsstaðir in Vopnafjörður in the spring of 1896, and there his mother died of pneumonia on September 18, 1897. The loss of his mother was a heavy burden for him and left its mark on his life and writing.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eGunnar began composing poetry, short stories and plays at a young age. When he was only 17 years old, his first books, Vorljóð and Móðurminning, were published. The poems were the beginning of a long and bright career.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Gunnar decided to become a writer in Danish because Icelandic was spoken by a small population. But fame and success did not come without effort.\u003cbr\u003e Gunnar's first novel, Trond Ørnen, was not well received by publishers. From the autumn of 1909 until 1912, Gunnar lived in dire circumstances, first in Aarhus and then in Copenhagen. He spent most of his time in libraries and supported himself on the fees he received for writing poems, short stories, and articles in magazines and newspapers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e On New Year's Day 1912, Gunnar moved into a small attic room in Copenhagen and within a few months wrote the first volume of The Story of the Borg Family. In the spring, Gyldendal accepted the book for publication. With that, the ice was broken and a brilliant career began.","brand":"Bókin.is","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51124467663176,"sku":"OSC-43717","price":9500.0,"currency_code":"ISK","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0916\/4029\/9848\/files\/47926.jpg?v=1754782311","url":"https:\/\/www.bokin.is\/en\/products\/sogur-eftir-gunnar-gunnarsson-47926-43717","provider":"bokin.is","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
