047 - Part 5 Chapter II The First of the Fleet

from Iceland Fisherman · host Pierre Loti

Iceland Fisherman is a captivating romance penned in 1886 by the esteemed novelist and naval officer Louis Marie-Julien Viaud, who is better known by his pseudonym, Pierre Loti. This intricate tale weaves together themes of passionate love, family loyalty, and the deep bonds that unite a community of resilient fisherfolk. Set against the stunning backdrop of 19th Century Brittany, the narrative offers a glimpse into the unique traditions and rich culture of the Breton people, now at risk of fading away. The English translation is masterfully done by the distinguished French diplomat and writer Jules Cambon. (Summary by Brian Fullen)

Iceland's Best Frank Lárus My name is Frank Lárus and I'm half Icelandic and half American. I'd like to share my journey from growing up in the USA to moving to Iceland 20 years ago. If you're interested in coming to Iceland or just curious about everyday life and many other topics related to Iceland i.e.history, culture, nightlife, sightseeing and much more, then look no further. The name says it all. Iceland's Best highlighting some of the best things Iceland has to offer in the opinion of myself and my guests. Part of the focus of the show will be questions from listeners or on behalf of friends. Join us on this fulfilled insight into Iceland's Best. History of the Norwegian People, Volume 1 by Knut Gjerset Loyal Books A detailed and exhaustive history of the Norwegian People, written in two volumes. The author, Knut Gjerset, was born in Western Norway in 1865 and immigrated to Chippewa County, Minnesota, in the US with his parents in 1871 and his brother Oluf later got elected to public office there. He received a B.A. in Literature from the University of Minnesota, and also studied at John's Hopkins University from 1895-1896, and the University of Heidelberg, where he was awarded a PhD, from 1896-1898. This first volume deals with the Norwegian History from the earliest times, to the early 14th century and covers topics such as: Prehistoric Norway and iron and Bronze age cultures in the area, the Viking era, The Christianization of Norway and some related information on Iceland, the Faroe Islands, Shetland/Orkney Islands, etc., Early kings of Norway, Norway in the Crusades, and foreign policy reformations at the beginning of the Late Middle Ages. - Summary by Ærik Bjørnsson Hans of Iceland by Victor Hugo Loyal Books Hans of Iceland was written in 1821 and is the very first novel written by young Victor, years before he became the great Hugo. It has all the ingredients of a gothic novel: dreadful murders by the hand of a human monster, a young hero in love with the destitute heroine, royal court-intrigues and rebellious uprising, all set in dungeons, dark towers and the untamed nature of Norway.This audio-book has been recorded as Dramatic Reading with all the voices performed by one single reader, including laughs, sobs, groans, occasional screams and a lot of growls. I hope you will enjoy listening to this adventurous journey just as much as I enjoyed recording it. - Summary by Sonia Frithiof Saga by Ferdinand Schmidt Loyal Books Iceland is the home of the Saga, a form of literature which includes the telling of the story of a hero’s life and adventures in a fixed, regular form, and which is usually intended for recitation, though the Saga is never set in the customary versified style of poetry. A large number of these Sagas, relating to Iceland, Greenland, North America, and the Norse countries, still remain, and among them the Frithiof Saga, narrating the stirring adventures of that hero of the Northland and Viking of its seas, is one of the most beautiful. Its subject is noble, heroic, and free from exaggerated description or overwrought sentiment. Frithiof is a splendid type of the old Norse hero, invincible in battle upon the land, fearless of Nature’s wrath as he sails the seas in his dragon ship, impulsive yet just, swift in punishment yet quick in forgiveness. The central motives of the Saga are his love for King Bele’s daughter, Ingeborg; the refusal of her brothers to sanction their marriage because t
