From the Mouth of the Whale
From the Mouth of the Whale is an Icelandic saga for the modern age. The year is 1635. Iceland is a world darkened by superstition, poverty, and cruelty. Men of science marvel over a unicorn's horn, poor folk worship the Virgin in secret, and both books and men are burned.
Sj n introduces us to J nas P lmason, a poet and self-taught healer, banished to a barren island for heretical conduct, as he recalls his gift for curing "female maladies," his exorcism of a walking corpse on the remote Snj fj ll coast, the frenzied massacre of innocent Basque whalers at the hands of local villagers, and the deaths of three of his children. P lmason's story echoes across centuries and cultures, an epic tale that makes us see the world anew.
