Icelanders believe in elves. Why does that make you laugh?, asks Nancy Marie Brown, in this wonderfully quirky exploration of our interaction with nature. Looking for answers in history, science, religion, and art—from ancient times to today—Brown finds that each discipline defines what is real and unreal, natural and supernatural, demonstrated and theoretical, alive and inert. Each has its own way of perceiving and valuing the world around us. And each discipline defines what an Icelander might call an elf.

Den berejste forfatter Lis Andersen havde egentlig ingen planer om at besøge Færøerne. Men skæbnen ville det anderledes, og i denne bog kan du læse hendes bjergtagende beretning om mødet med klippeøerne i det nordlige Atlanterhav, hvor beboerne kun kan føre deres planer ud i livet, hvis vejret tillader det ... Lis Andersen (1918-2001) var forfatter, globetrotter, fysioterapeut og naturterapeut. Som barn rejste hun rundt i verden med sin familie på sejlskibet Monsunen, og det lagde grunden for et langt livs rejselyst.

Den unge chilener José Andersen tager den lange tur over Atlanterhavet til det høje nord for at undersøge den del af sin slægt, der stammer fra Norge. Gennem Josés øjne oplever vi det norske samfund og dets borgere på godt og ondt. Vi møder overklassedamen, der foretrækker latin lovers, en flok lige lovligt muntre danske murere på en byggeplads samt en lang række andre skøre personligheder. Alt imens forsøger José at finde sin familie og sin egen plads i dette fremmede samfund.
