«La passion secrète de Fjordur et autres racontars» is a collection of stories by Jørn Riel, published by Gaïa in paperback (250 pages, in French).
During the long Greenlandic polar night, hunters isolated in their cabins tell each other adventures, real or imaginary, over a bottle of schnapps. In the story that gives the volume its title, Fjordur, an Icelander with brusque manners, hides an unconfessable passion that drives him all the way to Cape Rumpel.
The work, third instalment of the Racontars arctiques series (Skrøner), was originally published in Danish in 1976; this French edition appeared in 1994.
It will appeal to readers of Scandinavian fiction, especially those who enjoy short stories with humour and an Arctic setting.
