- text: Hverrar trúar var Halldór Laxness ?
  context: 'Halldór Kiljan Laxness was born in 1902 in Reykjavik , the capital of
    Iceland , but spent his youth in the country . From the age of seventeen on ,
    he travelled and lived abroad , chiefly on the European continent . He was influenced
    by expressionism and other modern currents in Germany and France . In the mid-twenties
    he was converted to Catholicism ; his spiritual experiences are reflected in several
    books of an autobiographical nature , chiefly Undir Helgahnúk ( Under the Holy
    Mountain ) , 1924 . In 1927 , he published his first important novel , Vefarinn
    mikli frá Kasmír ( The Great Weaver from Kashmir ) . Laxness’s religious period
    did not last long ; during a visit to America he became attracted to socialism
    . Alþydubókin ( The Book of the People ) , 1929 , is evidence of a change toward
    a socialist outlook . In 1930 , Laxness settled in Iceland . Laxness’s main achievement
    consists of three novel cycles written during the thirties , dealing with the
    people of Iceland . Þú vínviður hreini , 1931 , and Fuglinn í fjörunni , 1932
    , ( both translated as Salka Valka ) , tell the story of a poor fisher girl ;
    Sjálfstætt fólk ( Independent People ) , 1934 - 35 , treats the fortunes of small
    farmers , whereas the tetralogy Ljós heimsins ( The Light of the World ) , 1937
    - 40 , has as its hero an Icelandic folk poet . Laxness’s later works are frequently
    historical and influenced by the saga tradition : Íslandsklukkan ( The Bell of
    Iceland ) , 1943 - 46 , Gerpla ( The Happy Warriors ) , 1952 , and Paradísarheimt
    ( Paradise Reclaimed ) , 1960 . Laxness is also the author of the topical and
    sharply polemical Atómstöðin ( The Atom Station ) , 1948 .'
