Cette année, la littérature islandaise s’invite au Salon du Livre de Paris, qui se tiendra Porte de Versailles du 18 au 21 mars. L’Islande, pays insulaire situé au cœur de l’Atlantique Nord, jouit d’une tradition littéraire dont les origines remontent au Moyen-âge avec les sagas islandaises, et qui se perpétue jusqu’à ce jour avec des écrivains reconnus internationalement, tels que les auteurs de polar islandais Arni Thorarinsson ou Arnaldur Indridason.
La littérature islandaise s’est d’abord développée au Moyen-âge avec l’écriture des fameuses sagas islandaises qui relataient les événements historiques de l’époque. En 1955, le travail de l’écrivain Halldór Laxness fut récompensé par un Prix Nobel de littérature. Depuis, la littérature islandaise s’est diversifiée et le pays compte désormais de très nombreux auteurs, à tel point qu’un dicton suggère que « la moitié des habitants d’Islande écrit pour l’autre moitié ».

A family vacation. A day on the beach. Adventures with a favorite stuffed animal. A magical carpet ride to a mysterious and undiscovered land. Story writing transcribes a young learner’s vivid perspective in such astonishing ways that spoken words cannot. It facilitates self-expression by tapping into each child’s imagination and fusing it with creative language.
Story writing encourages children to engage in active and independent creative thinking. But it also teaches students how to employ logic and consider the methodical succession of events and situations within a story. Story writing promotes organization skills and rational thought processes. To take it a step further, events in a story can be completely restructured to convey a different theme, moral or point of view. For instance, the story of ‘Goldilocks and The Three Bears’ follows a linear sequential timing of events. As an exercise, ask your child to retell the story from Goldilock’s perspective in first person narrative. The story structure may change completely into a series of flashbacks accompanied with present day self-reflection. Read more

There was a time when we used to buy a scooter, bike or a car and use it for its lifetime. But now times have changed drastically, and an average user changes his car or bike every 2 to 3 years. Initially people used to use their network to buy or sell, but print classified ads changed all that and it became a better way to buy or sell.
People used to place classifieds ads in the leading news paper in their cities and used to get a lot of enquiries or a possible sale through that. Since the information became available to a larger public the price realization was better. From the Buyer’s point of view, he had many options to choose from the different classifieds ads for different models of cars and bikes in the classifieds ads. Though this method was superior to the one where you just connected with friends in the network, there were many flaws. Read more
