The Baron (2004)
A book where the incredible is true, and the credible untrue!
Baron Boilleau was a multifaceted man and the book gives us a vivid portrait of the “belle époque” of the Euro-American bourgeoisie, and how a man’s artistic aspirations and ideals of progress become shipwrecked once they hit the barren shores of a backward Icelandic society.
English translation available. Sample translation in French available.
Reviews
The Baron is a beautifully crafted book and an historical novel of the best possible kind.

The story of the baron in Hvitarvellir is absolutely charming.
