Bónus Poetry
2.490 kr.Bónus Poetry takes the reader on a mythological journey through the aisles of an undisclosed Bónus Supermarket branch, and is based on Dante’s Divina Commedia. Starting in “Paradiso” (the fruit and vegetable section), we travel through “Inferno” (meat and frozen goods) before finally ending up in the “Purgatorio” (cleaning products).
The book was initially published by Bónus Supermarkets in Iceland and sold at supermarket counters on eternal “special offer”. The author signed the same contract as every other producer: “If the consumer is harmed by the product, the producer is liable.” Bónus Poetry became the biggest selling poetry volume in the history of Iceland. No consumers have yet been harmed but please call the service desk in case of headaches, dizziness or general bursts of poem disorder.
Meet the Elves
3.690 kr.Those who travel around Iceland with an open mind will have a colourful and enjoyable journey ahead of them. With a bit of luck (and GPS navigation) travelers might even encounter an elf – almost no Icelandic farm is without stories of elfdwellings located somewhere on the property.
This book contains a collection of stories and sources that shed light on the relationship between humans and elves in Iceland, from ancient to relatively recent times.
Lavaland
4.690 kr.Lavaland is a powerful tale of love and loss, of grief and surrender, and ultimately of great courage and resilience in the face of life’s cruel blows.
LínLín is a survivor who stands strong despite a series of tragic losses she has experienced in her life. However, when a volcanic eruption threatens to consume her beloved Sæluból, the summer cottage where she and her family and friends have spent so many magical moments, she is faced with a critical decision as she recalls the memories, secrets and sorrows that have shaped her.
Novelist and poet Steinunn Sigurðardóttir, renowned for her acute insight into the human condition, her keen wit and engaging style, has been at the forefront of Icelandic literature for decades and her published work numbers in the dozens. Her latest novel, Lavaland, with its skillfully crafted multi-layered narrative, resonates with emotional depth and humanity — qualities that earned her the Icelandic Literary Prize. An unforgettable story that leaves a lasting impression.
