Books and Maps on Iceland


Books and Maps on Iceland

The Icelandic nation takes immense pride in its literary heritage and the fact that it has the lowest rate of illiteracy in the world: 0 per cent. Books are held in high esteem and reading may well be considered the national pastime, particularly around Christmas.

Anyone who wants to understand the Icelandic national character should look to the many books on offer. Translations of folk legends are an excellent means of this, as are the various novels and the Icelandic sagas in translation. Especially popular with foreign visitors are, of course, coffee-table books depicting Iceland's magnificent landscape and nature, available in a variety of languages. There is also a wide selection of books describing different aspects of Icelandic culture such as visual art, history of the settlement of Iceland and stamp collecting..... as well as cookbooks featuring traditional Icelandic food.
