Dream of the Way: Part 1 - Prelude

He is eager to know what will happen to himself within when he encounters the way, his fellow pilgrims from many countries and the inhabitants of the various regions along the way. Icelandic medieval texts originated in the world of the way come alive so to speak when walking and in various places he even walks into, texts, scenes and sets from his own novels. One main theme is said to characterise Mr. Vilhjálmsson writing, the trip. Therefore, in his case, it is easy for him to accept the truth of an old observation that the pilgrims way symbolize life.
