Iceland is an island of multiple identities, in constant flux, just like its unruly volcanic ground. As much shaped by storytelling as it is by tectonic activity, Iceland's literary heritage is one of Europe's richest--and most ancient. Its stories have been passed down through the generations: told and retold by sheep farmers, psalm-writers, travelling reverends, independence fighters, scholars and hedonists. From the captivating Norse myths, which continue to inspire contemporary authors such as A.S. Byatt, to gripping Scandinavian crime fiction and Game of Thrones, via Jules Verne and J.R.R Tolkien, W.H. Auden and Seamus Heaney, Iceland's influence has spread far beyond its frozen shores. Peopled by Norse maidens and witches, elves and outlaws and taking the reader and traveller from Reykjavik and the Bay of Smokes to the remote Westfjords and desolate highlands, this is an enthralling portrait of the Land of Ice and Fire.

The link through this pathfinder is the lifeline of Lofoten, Europavei E10, which windingly and courteously runs in between towering mountains and luxuriant parishes on its way from Fiskebøl to Å. The authors feel they are barely exaggerating when they claim that no other road stretch of just 170 kilometers offer more spectacular nature and cultural landscapes. Finally, you are given tips to catch the ferry across to Værøy and Røst and experience the special atmosphere and the lavish nature in the small communities far out in the sea. On the route along E10, you will see all the detours worth seeing and stop by natural and cultural heritage sites. You will be informed about accomodations and places to eat, and will catch an interesting glance at the history of Lofoten. Fully illustrated with beautiful color photographs. This new edition has app. 40 pages (not numbered pages) of beautiful pictures, which have been added in the new edition.
