Excellent introduction to the country

We heard this book while driving trough Iceland. For someone with little knowledge of the country it’s a great introduction. It goes well beyond history and promoted interesting conversations about how the experiences we had relate to the book’s chapters.

The person that criticized the book for being superficial clearly didn’t read the description of the book: if you’re looking for a profound and detailed account of Iceland’s history there are other books written with this purpose in mind.

Finally I would recommend two other books that are good complements for listening while traveling the country: “The little book of Icelanders” and “How Iceland changed the world”.
