In the Himalaya Vignettes, 43 in number, \u00c1rmann Reynisson opens a view for the reader into a little known world with an extraordinary cultural heritage and magnificent natural surroundings. He lives among the people there, discovers their heartbeat and sensitively interprets many of their tales and traditions. What the author sees, hears and experiences provides the catalyst for some lively narratives although he also allows his imagination full range. The tales are from Mombai, Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, Nepal, Sikkim, West\u00adBengal og Bhutan. \u00c1rmann Reynisson’s vignettes have carved out a place for themselves in the first decade of the twenty\u00adfirst century both in Iceland and abroad and have been seen as bringing something new to Icelandic literature. There are 473 in total, contained in 11 dual language books, translated into English, German, Denish, Norwegian, Swedish, Finnish, Faroese, Inuit and Esperanto. These vignettes are excellent material for individual consideration and public recital.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
