When the friend, absorbed in a borrowed copy of \u003cem\u003eParadise Lost\u003c\/em\u003e, forgets his oilskin one morning and the crew is unexpectedly caught at sea in a savage winter storm, tragedy strikes. Overwhelmed by grief--and his crewmates' indifference to what has happened--the boy leaves the village, determined to return the book to its owner. The hardship and danger of the journey is of little consequence: he's already resolved to join his friend in death. But when he reaches the town where he intends to end his days, he couldn't have imagined the stories and lives he finds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNavigating the depths of despair to celebrate the redemptive power of friendship, \u003cem\u003eHeaven and Hell\u003c\/em\u003e is an incandescent story of community, resilience, and love from one of Iceland's most celebrated novelists.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJ?n Kalman Stef?nsson\u003c\/b\u003e's novels have been nominated three times for the Nordic Council Prize for Literature, and his novel \u003ci\u003eSummer Light, and Then Comes the Night\u003c\/i\u003e received the Icelandic Prize for Literature in 2005.
