About the Book

English summary: One of the most intriguing aspects of Scandinavian genius as a whole is the amazing storytelling skills of the Swedes, Danes, Norwegians and Icelanders - not that they are any less talented in other literary genres (far from it). Yet Andersen's emulators - such as Denmark's Karen Blixen, Sweden's Selma Lagerlof and Iceland's Halldor Laxness - are innumerable and all have magnetic storytelling voices that never tire readers. Many reasons for that are offered here, most of them based upon very well-known Icelandic sagas. All of these literatures have produced a praiseworthy and prolific production of folk tales and legends. This work offers a presentation and analysis of this art of telling tales which authentically reflects realia - this manifestation of daily life among peoples about whom the rest of the world still knows very little. French description: L'une des caracteristiques les plus interessantes du genie scandinave dans sa globalite est l'etonnante faculte qu'ont les Suedois, Danois, Norvegiens et Islandais de conter, raconter - non qu'ils soient en retrait en ce qui concerne les autres genres litteraires, tant s'en faut, mais les emules d'Andersen, la Danoise Karen Blixen, la Suedoise Selma Lagerlof, l'Islandais Halldor Laxness sont innombrables et tous ont cette voix de conteur attachant qui fait qu'on ne se lasse pas de les entendre. Cela s'explique de maintes facons presentees ici, notamment a partir des celebrissimes sagas islandaises. A juste titre, toutes ces litteratures peuvent s'enorgueillir de leur abondante production de contes et legendes populaires.

Le present ouvrage propose une presentation et une analyse de cet art de conter qui appartient veritablement aux realia, cette manifestation de la vie au quotidien chez ces peuples encore mal connus.
