Reviews

"Much has been written before about Stefansson's life, but Palsson's work places it in a new context... The outcome is much more than an account of the life history of this 'famous Icelander,' it becomes a contribution to the complex history of the exchanges between Western masculinity and colonial power with the cultural and natural environment of northern regions." - Olafur Rastrick, Saga "Palsson's book is a masterpiece. It leaves the reader with sufficient space for reflection which is an important asset." - Kristjan Johannson, Dagblai"
