This is Iceland Today

Bjork, volcanoes, bright nights and the dark days of winter...all images that the outside world has of Iceland. For anybody wishing to step beyond the stereotypes, this is an ideal introduction to the island nation. Based around a selection of articles from the largest daily newspaper, "Morgunbladid", this book offers an insight into Icelandic daily life that is not usually possible to glimpse from abroad. "This is Iceland Today" also acts as a 'reader' for anyone wishing to learn the Icelandic language as the selections are all also presented in Icelandic, with English chapter introductions, notes and translations. Beautifully illustrated in colour, this is the perfect introduction to a fascinating country.
