Since this is a more recent collection of all kinds of translated texts of Thórbergur Thordarson, I had to compare the current English translation with the first one of “In Search of my Beloved” from 1967. I have to say I prefer the “old” one. ? #insearchofmybeloved #thorbergurthordarson #thordarson #icelandiclit #iceland

After finishing The Swarm this is now my next read. A collection of his texts. Some parts of novels, some letters and some poems. This is the last book of any translated texts of Thordarson. After that I‘ve read any available texts in English and German. I guess I have to learn Icelandic now. 🤔 #iceland #icelandiclit #thordarson #thorbergurthordarson

Last day of my Icelandic week - my holiday would be over by now (if I had had it). I‘m ending it how I started it - with in Search of my Beloved. #myicelandicweek #iceland #thorbergurthordarson #thordarson #icelandiclit

I adore the sun in Iceland - like Thórbergur Thordarson did. It is always so bright, even if the weather is not that good. #myicelandicweek #iceland #thorbergurthordarson #thordarson #icelandiclit

Last one of the Thórbergur Thordarson Museum. They even designed and arranged some of his texts as actual books. ?

Part of last years‘ Iceland haul. Some postcards to remember Djupaviík, one of my favourite places in Iceland, and an anthology of Thórdarson‘s writing, which you don‘t get in Europe. #myicelandicweek #iceland #thorbergurthordarson #thordarson #djupavik #icelandiclit

BookNAround Iceland is on my bucket list. I‘m thinking next year for my 50th. 4y
MariaW @BookNAround It is a wonderful place. This year it is the first time in four years I couldn‘t go. 🥺 4y
BookNAround Hopefully missing out this year will make next year that much sweeter for you! 4y
MariaW @BookNAround And hopefully you will get the chance to go. 🤗 4y

So, I‘ve been to the Thórbergur Thordarson Museum, they displayed the balcony of his home. Fans gathered in front of the balcony when Thordarson got one of the major Icelandic honours. The fangirl I am, I had to go there as well. ? (Even though it is not a beautiful building at all.) #myicelandicweek #iceland #thorbergurthordarson #thordarson #icelandiclit

Unfortunately it is not possible to post videos on Litsy. But this is a stone speaking - literally. It is placed in front of the Thórbergur Thordarson museum in Iceland because one of his most known books is called „The Stones speak“. #iceland #thorbergurthordarson #thordarson #myicelandicweek #icelandiclit
