Strong strains #73209

Strong stocks. Elements of the North. Compiled by Björn R. Árnason. Foreword by Kristján Eldjárn.

in Strong stocks there are 44
episodes or articles about individual
people or families. Almost without exception
is about rural areas
Björns, Svarfdæli, to discuss. Most
have the people in question,
been around for the last century or so
this one, but lineages are widely traced
far into the centuries, so that
probably most Svarfdælir can
learned a lot of genealogy there
Those whom Bjorn has
especially taken into treatment,
are men and women who have someone
have shown greater human qualities
or talent but all
the number, excelling at something
to be strange or peculiar
but still great, as they say
strong strains. And strong strains
Björn has found many in
Svarfaðardalur.

"Despite Jón's alcoholism and
pleasure-seeking, he was a man of misfortune,
and his journeys ended successfully.
There came a time when Jon
was summoned to leave, if there was difficulty
thought it was possible, but there was a lot at stake
"It could be a good thing. May humanity and happiness be with him."
