Opis: Salka Valka - Laxness Halldór
A new translation of Nobel Prize-winning author Halldór Laxness's
masterpiece
Late one snowy midwinter night, in a remote Icelandic fishing village, a
penniless woman arrives by boat. She comes with her daughter, the young
but gutsy Salka Valka. The two must forge a life in this remote place,
where everyone is at the mercy of a single wealthy merchant, and where
everything revolves around fish.
After her mother's tragic death, Salka grows into a fiercely
independent-minded adult - cutting off her hair, educating herself and
becoming an advocate for the town's working class. A coming-of-age
story, a feminist tale, a lament for Iceland's poor - this is the funny,
tender, epic story of Salka Valka.
'Laxness is a poet who writes to the edges of the pages, a visionary who
allows us a plot' Daily Telegraph
