There is a vast, oceanic narrative power in Jóanes Nielsen's Faroese chronicle <i>The Brahmadells</i>. --Anders Juhl Rasmussen</p><p>One of the first Faroese books to be translated into English, <i>The Brahmadells </i>is an epic novel chronicling the lives of a particular family--nicknamed the Brahmadells--against the larger history of the Faroe Islands, from the time of Danish rule, through its national awakening, to its independence.</p><p>Filled with colorful characters and various family intrigues, the novel incorporates a number of genres and styles as it shifts from individual stories to larger world issues. There are historical documents, including nineteenth-century medical journals, documents detailing the lives of real historical figures, digressions about religion, a measles outbreak, and many other travails, large and small.</p><p>Referred to as the Faroese <i>Moby-Dick</i> for its scope, importance, and literary approach, <i>The Brahmadells </i>is a playful, engrossing look at life in an island nation whose rich history is relatively unknown to most English readers.</p><p><b>Jóanes Nielsen</b> is the author of four novels, a collection of stories, three volumes of essays, and eight poetry collections. He's been nominated on five occasions for the Nordic Council's Literature Prize.</p><p><b>Kerri A.
