The Lost Musicians
(Bók)
William Heinesen
This work is the new translation of William Heinesens
masterpiece - one of the most important Scandinavians novels of the 20th
Century and an epic struggle between good and evil. Although set on a small
island the book is full of larger than life characters, like the formidable
bank manager Ankersen, the scurrilous Matte Gok, the enormous blacksmith
Janniksen and the amateur musicians. Heinesen succeeds in making the
everyday world of Torshavn at the beginning of the 20th Century read like
the setting of a Greek tragedy.
