Halldór Laxness
Halldór Laxness was born in Reykjavík in 1902. His first novel was published in 1919, marking the beginning of a spectacular career as a novelist that would span decades. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1955.
A true man of the world, Halldór Laxness spent a great deal of time overseas but his home from 1945 was Gljúfrasteinn in Mosfellssveit.
