Icelanders are a very literate nation. The best present you can give an Icelander is often a book. Publishing is especially voluminous around Christmas, as books are the gift of choice. Although Iceland is a very small country, it boasts a Nobel laureate in literature. Halldor Laxness (1902-1998) was one of the most beloved authors in Iceland. He received the 1955 Nobel Prize in literature "for his vivid epic power which has renewed the great narrative art of Iceland".
