Forlagsbeskrivelse af Tower at the Edge of the World af William Heinesen
The Tower at the Edge of the World is William Heinesen's last novel written when he was 76, and is the summation of all of his work. William Heinesen, one of the greatest Nordic authors of the twentieth century, describes The Tower at the Edge of the World as a poetic mosaic novel about earliest childhood. There is the perspective of both the child and the old man looking back at his life as a child. Although there is a lot of tangible detail and recognisable characters the book has a mythic quality. The events in a small community in the windswept Atlantic ocean being recorded by the writer in his room, his tower at the edge of the world, have a larger than life feel. Torshavn and his childhood are used to tell the history of the world and of creation.
