Synopsis

This book is a fascinating historical account of Jón Jónnson, a self-taught man who lived in Iceland from 1829-1869. The author was a friend of Jón's who visited him during his travels in Iceland in the 1870s and recorded Jón's memories and reflections. The book provides insight into the challenges and joys of life in rural Iceland in the 19th century, and the impact of social and economic changes on rural communities. It also explores the strong ties between family and community, and the importance of individual initiative and resilience in the face of adversity. The author argues that Jón Jónnson's story provides valuable insights into the character and values of the Icelandic people, and their relationship with the natural world.
