LAXNESS, HALLDOR
The atom station
London, Methuen. 1961, First Thus. Hard Cover. 8vo, green cloth. Pp 202. A novel by the Icelandic Nobel prizewinner, translated from Icelandic by Magnus Magnussen. An American offer to buy land for an atomic war base in Iceland provokes a storm of protest throughout the country. This is the event which gives Halldor Laxness a starting point for his novel, and in it he satirizes politics and politicians, Communists and anti-Communists, phoney culture fiends, big business, and all the pretensions of authority. The story is told by a country girl from the north, who comes to work as a maid in the house of her Member of Parliament. This girl is the one obstinate reality in a world of fantasy and chicanery. Through her eyes we see the contrast between the ancient culture of the Sagas in the north, and the new rootless urban culture of the intellectual society of the south.

LAXNESS, HALLDOR KILJAN
HOLL SUMARLANDSINS
Reykjavik, Iceland, Bokautgafan Heimskringla 1938, 1st edition, wrappers. 8vo, pp. 332. The second part of Laxness' famous tetrology "Heimsljos" or "The Light of the World". The text is in Icelandic. Â
¶ Laxness (1902-1998, birth name Halldor Gudjonsson) was perhaps the pre-eminent Icelandic novelist of the 20th century. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature in 1955 and, due to his fervent socialism, the Stalin International Award in 1949. He wrote a series of epic novels which explored the reality of Icelandic life, past and present, and generally rejuvenated Icelandic literature. This title, along with the other three, have been translated into English, and other languages. A first edition, in the author's native tongue, is remarkably scarce. Our copy is bound in the original undistinguished paper wraps. The spine is slanted and wrinkled. The covers are worn and turned at the edges, with light general soiling. Small oval sticker at the top of the front cover. Ink inscription (in Icelandic) on half-title page. Binding splitting between pp. 240/241, else clean and tight. A good copy, notwithstanding.

I say for my part that a man lives in vain until he is independent,' "(from the dust jacket ).

World Light.
The University of Wisconsin Press, Madison, Milwaukee and London: 1969. Hardcover with dustjacket in protective mylar cover. Reading copy. Library discard. The long search in a harsh, materialistic world for some kind of spiritual beauty leads Olaf Karason through a turbulent life in the villages of Iceland in the early twentieth century. Sent away by his mother as an infant, crippled until a bizarre cure in late boyhood, and later a self-taught poet living once more on charity, he was always a social outcast. His quest for the apirit of this world shows him much of the chaos of existence until, at the end, he discovers the beauty which can transcend the pain of life. Translated into English from the Icelandic by Magnus Magnusson.

JOHANNES SVEINSSON KJARVAL Inngangsord Eftir Halldor Kiljan Laxness.
Reykiavik, Iceland: Helgafell, Ltd. 1950. This is a hardcover book in a dust jacket. The binding is tight, bright, clean with a light touch of corner wear. The end papers and the pages are very clean and crisp and without marks or writing. The dust jacket is in poor condition because of missing pieces at the top of the front panel and other edge wear. The introduction is in Icelandic and English. The remainder of the text is in English through page 51. The remainder of the book contains tipped-in full page illustrations of the art, including dimensions and year. There is an extra set of plates laid in. There are other color, black and white, and tipped in illustrations with the text. The dust jacket is in a mylar (see-through, removable) protector and it makes the jacket look better than described. 4to; 100 pages.
