Excerpt from Iceland Horseback Tours in Saga Land This Foreword, were it not for the tyrant Custom, might as well be omitted, since a preface is seldom read.

Miss Iceland by Auður Ava Ólafsdóttir Pdf

“Will appeal to readers of Elena Ferrante and Margaret Atwood . . . the unusual setting offers an interesting twist on the portrait of an artist as a young woman.” —Bookpage In 1960s Iceland, Hekla dreams of being a writer. In a nation of poets, where each household proudly displays leatherbound volumes of the Sagas, and there are more writers per capita than anywhere else in the world, there is only one problem: she is a woman. After packing her few belongings, including James Joyces’s Ulysses and a Remington typewriter, Hekla heads for Reykjavik with a manuscript buried in her bags. She moves in with her friend Jon, a gay man who longs to work in the theatre, but can only find dangerous, backbreaking work on fishing trawlers. Hekla’s opportunities are equally limited: marriage and babies, or her job as a waitress, in which harassment from customers is part of the daily grind. The two friends feel completely out of place in a small and conservative world. And yet that world is changing: JFK is shot. Hemlines are rising. In Iceland, another volcano erupts and Hekla meets a poet who brings to light harsh realities about her art—as she realizes she must escape to find freedom abroad, whatever the cost. Miss Iceland, a winner of two international book awards, comes from the acclaimed author of Hotel Silence, which received the Icelandic Literary Prize. “Only a great book can make you feel you’re really there, a thousand miles and a generation away. I loved it.” —Kit de Waal, author of My Name is Leon “[A] winning tale of friendship and self-fulfillment.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review

The Successful Management of Small and Middle Sized Enterprises in a Specific Sector by Bernd Schneider Pdf

Dr. Dr. Schneider analyses the opportunities, economic problems and internal weak points of middle-sized enterprises, especially from the point of view and the experience of a practitioner on the basis of enterprise analyses and interviews. Success factors of the SME are high flexibility, innovation, reliability, motivation of employees and customer loyalty as well as customer specific goods and services, which are last but not least determined by the strong influence of the enterpriser. The main problems of the SME are: too high costs for duties and bureaucracy, low capital facilities, often too little management potential; this prevents that good innovations from the markets, from the enterprise, are implemented consequently and profitably in products, methods and new market offers. This investigation gives further help and exemplars for a successful SME-management especially for the leisure time market horse management and wants to provide a scientific and experience-oriented contribution to motivate young elites to carry out their business and personal targets with a sense of proportion. Dr. Dr. Bernd Schneider is for years familiar with SME-problems: as a young business manager, enterpriser and now as head of the study focus "Entrepreneurship" of an academy. He teaches and advises both at home and abroad.

Independent People by Halldor Laxness Pdf

From the Nobel Prize-winning Icelandic author, a magnificent, epic novel—"funny, clever, sardonic and brilliant" (Annie Proulx)—at last available to contemporary American readers. Set in the early twentieth century, Independent People recalls both Iceland's medieval epics and such classics as Sigrid Undset's Kristin Lavransdatter. If Bjartur of Summerhouses, the book's protagonist, is an ordinary sheep farmer, his flinty determination to achieve independence is genuinely heroic and, at the same time, terrifying and bleakly comic. Having spent eighteen years in humiliating servitude, Bjartur wants nothing more than to raise his flocks unbeholden to any man. But Bjartur's spirited daughter wants to live unbeholden to him. What ensues is a battle of wills that is by turns harsh and touching, elemental in its emotional intensity and intimate in its homely detail. Vast in scope and deeply rewarding, Independent People is a masterpiece.

The Vikings: Classic Histories Series by Magnus Magnusson Pdf

The Vikings hold a particular place in the history of the West, both symbolically and in the significant impact they had on Northern Europe. Magnus Magnusson's indispensable study of this great period presents a rounded and fascinating picture of a people who, in modern eyes, would seem to embody striking contradictions. They were undoubtedly pillagers, raiders and terrifying warriors, but they were also great pioneers, artists and traders - a dynamic people, whose skill and daring in their exploration of the world has left an indelible impression a thousand years on.
