Wenn du siehst wie die Karawane deiner Sorgen langgsam zu dir zuürckkehrt, erscheint sie in deiner Vorstellung umso weniger entfernt, je näher sie kommt. Eine Woche wird wird eine längere Zwitspanne als einMonat sein, ein Tag länger als eine Woche, eine Stunde länger als ein Tag. #thorbergurthordarson #thordarson #islandsadel

Okay, after that one I‘m going to stop posting about this book. ? I‘m reading more Icelandic literature right now. ???

Nice day in the sun - with a good book. As I expected the English translation of one of my favourite books is a good as ther German one. Unfortunately only the part concerning Thordarson‘s love interest was translated, not the whole book. Knowing where cut-outs were and what should be there instead, one or two chapters changed their content a bit.

What do you do if a book impresses you soooo much you can‘t cope without it anymore? You get other translations of the very same book and read it all over again. ❤️?
(Or other books of the same author, but unfortunately there are no other translated books of him in any of the languages I read ?).

Sarah83 No more books? Curious. Icelandic authors were everywhere some time ago. 6y
MariaW @Sarah83 Yeah, because Iceland has been a partner to the Frankfurter Buchmesse some while ago, but Thordarson is not a contemporary author, I guess that‘s the problem. (edited) 6y
Sarah83 @MariaW have you already looked online? 6y

MariaW @Sarah83 Just ordered a collection of excerpts from Iceland one hour ago. 🤗 But I think in the end they are all from the same book - which is this one. 6y
Sarah83 Have you seen this one? 6y
MariaW @Sarah86 Sits already in my library. 😊 6y
Sarah83 Oh okay ☺️👍 6y

That‘s what I was talking about - just checked the English version via Google books and it‘s perfect as well. ❤️

Sundown, beach, wine - and all I can do is thinking of Iceland. This book is so perfect, I can‘t cope. The wonderful writing of Thordarson totally got me. I started it three times and upon reading only the first pages I knew I had to take more time for this - TO SAVOUR EVERY SINGLE WORD. I finally made it - and I can‘t stop thinking about Iceland. #islandsadel #insearchofmybeloved #ThorbergurThordarson #icelandicliterature #icelandiclit #iceland

God, I can‘t even translate it into English. This quote is so perfect, I can‘t cope.
Have been off reading for quite a time and started with this book I wanted to read for long long time. It‘s full of quotable thoughts. Unfortunately I only got the German translation.
