Iceland and Greenland: A Millennium of Perceptions – A Thousand Years of Myth, Mystery, and Imagination. For over a millennium, Iceland and Greenland have captivated outsiders—portrayed in everything from medieval manuscripts to modern media. Mysterious. Majestic. Misunderstood. This groundbreaking book takes you on a journey through 1,000 years of perception, revealing how these northern lands have been imagined: as wild and untamed frontiers, as noble havens of purity, as cursed wastelands—or as glittering utopias brimming with treasure.
Drawing on rich research from travelogues, literature, and visual art, Iceland and Greenland: A Millennium of Perceptions unpacks the myths, contradictions, and fantasies that still shape how the world sees these enigmatic lands today.
Based on the book Í fjarska norðursins.
