520 _a"Modern Icelandic Plays" by Jóhann Sigurjónsson is a collection of dramatic works written in the early 20th century. The book features two prominent plays, "Eyvind of the Hills" and "The Hraun Farm," that explore themes of love, identity, and the connection to the rugged Icelandic landscape. The plays present characters shaped by their environments and societal pressures, as they navigate personal struggles and dilemmas. The beginning of this volume sets the stage for the play "Eyvind of the Hills," where we are introduced to Halla, a wealthy widow, and Kari, her overseer, who is revealed to be Eyvind—a man with a troubled past of theft. As Halla and Kari develop feelings for each other, their relationship is complicated by Kari's secret identity and the threats posed by the bailiff Bjørn, who harbors suspicions about Kari's true nature. The opening showcases a vibrant cast of characters engaged in everyday life, while hinting at deeper conflicts that stem from love and societal expectations, blending lyrical dialogue with the stark beauty of the Icelandic setting.
