Description

Paradise Reclaimed is a captivating novel by Nobel Prize winner Halldor Laxness. The story follows an idealistic Icelandic farmer who embarks on a journey to Mormon Utah and back, in search of paradise.

After impulsively offering his children's beloved pony to the visiting King of Denmark, the family's life is turned upside down, leading them to build a new home among the devout polygamists in Utah. Laxness weaves together elements of fable, folkore, and humble truths to create a moving and spellbinding tale.

This enchanting novel showcases Laxness' trademark blend of compassion and comically brutal satire, leaving readers with a lasting impression of its timeless themes and characters.
