Sóleyjarsaga. A novel by Elías Mar.
In Verkamanninn on May 4, 1954, a review of Elías Mar's Sóleyjarsaga was published. It states, among other things, "The undersigned must admit that he has not read the author's previous books and therefore no comparison with them is possible.
Sóleyjarsaga takes place in Reykjavík in recent years. The characters are citizens of the capital, and it is no secret that the author knows the people well, their interests, struggles and motivations, as many characters are clearly and distinctly formed, although it is somewhat difficult to fully understand this, while the story is only half-written.
There is no need to outline the content of the book, as readers are better off familiarizing themselves with it without any intermediaries.
Much is discussed about the social problems of today and the impact they have on people, both those who miss out on the quality of life and those who enjoy them in greater quantities than is proper. But it is precisely the fact that the author seems to have a complete understanding of the causes and consequences in this area that gives his book its value above all else.
The story of Sóleyjar is a true depiction of various important factors that create modern Reykjavík, and we eagerly await the sequel. Until that happens, the story will not be fully judged, nor will its overall impact.
