Description
Introduction · · · · · ·
Keflavik is known as the darkest place in Iceland, with barren lava, fishless sea, and American military bases that cannot be driven away. Writer and publisher Ali returned here because of his seriously ill father, and his childhood memories came flooding back.
His grandfather and grandmother were Icelanders who fought for their lives on the sea of the East Fjords with courage and will. At that time, the old fashion was still popular, with men bringing glory and honor by going out to sea, and women enduring cruel waiting on the shore. The love of their ancestors, their praise for nature and the glory of life all deeply attracted Ali.
In this same place with mountains and oceans, why did the former glory turn into a life with only profits instead of heartbeats? An unbearable question mark arose in Ali's heart.
