Ebook About
"[A] joyously peculiar book." -- The New York Times‘Bjarnason’s intriguing book might be about a cold place, but it’s tailor-made to be read on the beach.’ New Statesman The untold story of how one tiny island in the middle of the Atlantic has shaped the world for centuries.The history of Iceland began 1,200 years ago, when a frustrated Viking captain and his useless navigator ran aground in the middle of the North Atlantic. Suddenly, the island was no longer just a layover for the Arctic tern. Instead, it became a nation whose diplomats and musicians, sailors and soldiers, volcanoes and flowers, quietly altered the globe forever. How Iceland Changed the World takes readers on a tour of history, showing them how Iceland played a pivotal role in events as diverse as the French Revolution, the Moon Landing, and the foundation of Israel. Again and again, one humble nation has found itself at the frontline of historic events, shaping the world as we know it, How Iceland Changed the World paints a lively picture of just how it all happened.

Book How Iceland Changed the World: The Big History of a Small Island Review :



“How Iceland Changed the World” is an in-depth, informative, and fascinating chronicle of Iceland’s mostly unknown contributions to the world. Egill Bjarnason clearly put a tremendous amount of effort into his research and has a strong passion for his subject.A couple of years ago, I drove Iceland’s Ring Road. I wish I had read this book first because it would have made me appreciate the nation’s breathtaking landscape even more. If you are planning a trip to Iceland or have even a passing interest in learning about its importance in history, you will definitely find Bjarnason’s book a worthwhile read.
Iceland is an island of mystery. Hence why I chose it as my fake ancestral home for my fifth grade genealogy project, having been very unimpressed with my real, boring family tree. And while I suspect my teacher didn't *quite* believe my tale of having descended from Iceland's Mermaid Princess, who knew enough about Iceland to prove me wrong? (this was pre-internet days; pathologically imaginative children in modern times have it rough). It became a running joke in my family, that I was "100% Icelandic" and I've harbored a fondness of the island ever since.So I was pretty pumped to see this book pop up on my list of recommended new releases. A contemporary history of Iceland? About time! I was drawn in by the blurb and the cover art, and read this as soon as it came out. I wish it was everything I had been hoping for, but it sadly was not to be.I really enjoyed this author's sense of humor. But much of this book fell short for me. For one thing, it wasn't so much about Iceland. The first chapter about Iceland's founding was actually about Greenland and discovering the Americas. Then later there is a chapter about.... Israel? Also a bunch of stuff about Bobby Fischer. While I understand the author's intent to show how Iceland influenced the world, he seems to focus more on the outsider being influenced as opposed to Iceland itself. It felt like a history of everything else *except* Iceland.I also take issue with how the author organized his thoughts. He had a tendency to introduce subject A, then go off on a multi page tangent and then return to A. It's not the ideal way to construct a narrative. I also think this book would have greatly improved with some included images, pronunciation guides for all Icelandic words, or even just a map.This book left me wanting. Here's to hoping a more Iceland-focused history of Iceland makes it to the presses.
