COPY LINK DOWNLOAD ----------------------------------- https://site.bookcenterapp.com/YUMPU/1400034256 ----------------------------------- From the acclaimed Nobel Prize winner: At the close of the 17th century, Iceland is an oppressed Danish colony, suffering under extreme poverty, famine, and plague. A farmer and accused cord-thief named Jon Hreggvidsson makes a bawdy joke about the Danish king and soon after finds himself a fugitive charged with the murder of the king&#8217s hangman.In the years that follow, the hapless but resilient rogue Hreggvidsson becomes a pawn entangled in political and personal conflicts playing out on a far grander scale. Chief among these is the star-crossed love affair between Snaefridur, known as &#8220Iceland&#8217s Sun,&#8221 a beautiful, headstrong young noblewoman, and Arnas Arnaeus, the king&#8217s antiquarian, an aristocrat whose worldly manner conceals a fierce devotion to his downtrodden countrymen. As their personal struggle plays itself out on an international stage, Laxness creates a Dickensian canvas of heroism and venality, violence and tragedy, charged with narrative enchantment on every page.Sometimes grim, sometimes uproarious, and always captivating, Iceland's Ball is at once an updating of the traditional Icelandic saga and a caustic social satire. - Iceland's Bell Publishing Ebook PDF - Iceland's Bell Publishing PDF Downloa
