Summary: "Islanti: tarun ja runon maa" by Into Konrad Inha is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book explores the rich history and cultural heritage of Iceland, focusing on the Viking exploration, colonization, and the subsequent development of Icelandic society. The narrative traces the journeys of early settlers such as Nadodd, Gardar, and Floke as they discover and settle in Iceland, highlighting both the challenges and rewards of establishing a new life in this rugged land. The opening of the work delves into the legendary narratives surrounding the discovery of Iceland, starting with the Norse Viking Nadodd, who stumbles upon the island during a storm. It recounts how subsequent explorers, including Gardar and Floke, named the land based on their observations and experiences, with Floke referring to it as "Jäämaaksi" due to its icy conditions. The text emphasizes the significance of early settlers who brought their traditions and lifestyles from Norway, thus beginning the complex tapestry of Icelandic history. The author also hints at the interplay between myth and recorded history, suggesting that many tales have been preserved through oral traditions before being documented, making this a fascinating exploration of both historical and cultural aspects of Iceland.
