200 anecdotes about the Faroe Islands
Eighteen islands battered by the Atlantic, 54,000 inhabitants, more sheep than people, and an incredible wealth of stories per square kilometre. This book brings together 200 anecdotes about the Faroe Islands: from basalt giants petrified by the rising sun to the 37 Faroese words for describing fog, from the world’s first underwater roundabout to the Gothic cathedral that never had a roof. Each anecdote is a gateway to an archipelago unlike any other. Can be read in any order. Sounds even better when listened to.
