About This Book

Een reisverslag van een afgelegen Noord-Atlantische eilandengroep beschrijft de aankomst per schip, de grillige basaltkusten en wisselende nevels, en de kleine dorpen met turfbedekte daken die met keien vastgelegd worden. Het dagelijks leven draait om visserij, het drogen van kabeljauw en dolfijnvlees en jacht op walvissen; uitgebreide waarnemingen betreffen vogelkliffen, schaapskuddes en wilde pony’s. De compacte hoofdstad wordt geschetst met haar eenvoudige haven, handelswinkels met lokale gebruiksvoorwerpen en administratieve aanwezigheid, evenals lokale naamgevingsgewoonten en verdere uitstapjes door de archipel.
