Leikum fagurt

Heðin Brú

Leikum fagurt is a satirical description of political life in the Faroe Islands during the 1930s.

It is also the love story of the weak teacher’s college student, Tórmann, and the strong seamstress, Elsba. The main story, however, follows Íhaldsflokkurin (the Conservative Party), which favours union with Denmark, and Framtaksflokkurin (the Progressive Party), favouring independence, and how these two parties, almost as if from mere habit, bicker and attack each other in the papers Dagens Emne and Bergmál. All of it rather harmless and pretentious.

Danger does not enter politics until the shipowner and merchant, Bakka-Hanus, receives a revelation from God. He is to establish a religious party to salvage the Faroe Islands and, in particular, Bakka-Hanus’ shop, of course, which is on the verge of bankruptcy.
