Intro with Anna Thorvaldsdottir

The reading of the sagas will be in German, the introduction in English.

As archetypal as the sagas may be, there are few regions where they are as diverse and still as alive as in Iceland. Their colourfulness and spunkiness continues to have an effect in the literature of Sjon or in the clips of Björk. A new volume in the "Icelander Sagas" series published by S. Fischer Verlag expands the circle of sagas once again. In this edition, the stories are now also rediscovered for our language. The imagination sparkles like the geysers - the legendary voice of Anna Schudt, known from film, television and stage, will bring this out magnificently. There will also be works by Icelandic composer Anna Thorvaldsdottir, who is Creative Chair of the Tonhalle-Orchester Zürich this year and will talk about her musical work in the introduction.
