The lost musicians by
William Heinesen(
Book
)
130 editions published between 1950 and 2017 in 13 languages and held by 643 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
"Music is at the heart of this book. The devotion to it of a group of amateur musicians forming the Boman Quartet prevents a series of dramatic events from turning into heart-rending tragedy. Music enables each of the musicians to rise above his own bleak situation. But there is humour, too, especially in the satirical, larger than life portrayal of the local sectarians, led by the bank manager Ankersen, as they seek in vain to break the spirit of the musicians. And humour of a more earthly kind in Janniksen, the huge blacksmith who is completely at the mercy of his petty-minded sectarian wife. The setting is a small Faroese town at the beginning of the 20th century - and that town is today the capital of the Faroe Islands, Torshavn."--BOOK JACKET

Windswept dawn by
William Heinesen(
Book
)
39 editions published between 1934 and 2014 in 6 languages and held by 204 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
The Faroes, or, more precisely, Faroese life, are subject and plot, respectively, of this, Heinesens's 1934 first novel, appearing finally in its first English translation. Among the principals are a Lutheran minister slipping into paranoiac delusions; a dour, suspicious, shrewd village shopkeeper; a woman innkeeper and majordomo-for-hire with a shrouded past; the philosophical and compassionate male teacher at a small islands school; a bad penny of an evangelical Adventist missionary; a meek, compulsively eavesdropping, middle-aged itinerant; and a thoughtful, wondering youth just awakening to the world. The story, such as it is, consists of what these people and others think and how they interact within the span of roughly one year
