Andri Snær Magnason Book order (chronological)

Island se obává blížící se ekonomické katastrofy a zhroucení celé společnosti. Na trhu se objeví schránky, v nichž neplyne čas. Lidé se do nich zavírají v naději, že krizi přečkají, aniž by zestárli. Uchylují se do nich i Sigrún a její rodiče. Island se pohrouží do spánku a příroda se pomalu zmocňuje spící země. Kromě zvířat je ale vzhůru ještě někdo… Stařenka Grace a malá skupinka dětí se snaží spáče probudit a vyburcovat je k záchraně světa. Tak se stane, že jednoho dne otevře Sigrúninu truhlu chlapec Marcus a dívku přivede ke Grace. Od ní se Sigrún dozví, že lidstvo postihla pradávná kletba: mocný král dobyl svět a chtěl si podrobit i čas. Svou jedenáctiletou dceru Obsidianu zavřel do časuvzdorné truhly, aby nikdy nezestárla. Králova mocichtivost je však zkázonosná. Podaří se Sigrún a ostatním dětem dávnou kletbu zrušit? „Svěží a napínavý dobrodružný příběh se odehrává ve dvou časových rovinách a má jasné poselství, přesto se nikdy neuchyluje k moralizování.“ Fréttabladid

Icelandic author and activist Andri Snær Magnason's 'Letter to the Future', an extraordinary and moving eulogy for the lost Okjökull glacier, made global news and was shared by millions. Now he attempts to come to terms with the issues we all face in his new book On Time and Water. Magnason writes of the melting glaciers, the rising seas and acidity changes that haven't been seen for 50 million years. These are changes that will affect all life on earth. Taking a path to climate science through ancient myths about sacred cows, stories of ancestors and relatives and interviews with the Dalai Lama, Magnason allows himself to be both personal and scientific. The result is an absorbing mixture of travel, history, science and philosophy.

Bonus Poetry takes the reader on a mythological journey through the aisles of an undisclosed Bonus Supermarket branch, and is abased on Dante's Divina Commedia. Starting in "Paradiso" (the fruit and vegetable section), we travel through "Inferno" (meat and frozen goods) before finally ending up in the "Purgatorio" (cleaning products).The book was initially published by Bonus Supermarkets in Iceland and sold at supermarket counters on eternal "special offer". The author signed the same contract as every other producer: "If the consumer is harmed by the product, the producer is liable." Bonus Poetry became the biggest selling poetry volume in the history of Iceland. No consumers have yet been harmed but please call the service desk in case of headaches, dizziness or general bursts of poem disorder.

In a device-free world dominated by wave-transmitted consumerism where people are controlled by technological trends, blissfully happy young lovers Indridi and Sigrid are declared to have a scientifically invalid relationship and are forced to go to extreme lengths to prove their love.

Critique of Icelandic government decision to dam Iceland's rivers to produce energy for aluminum smelters which contains larger implications. Illustrated.

Na plavom planetu, daleko u svemiru, žive samo djeca koja se sama brinu o sebi, jedu kada su gladna i igraju se u prirodi. Njihov život se mijenja dolaskom Sretnislava, prve odrasle osobe, koja im obećava više zabave uz cijenu mrvicu njihove mladosti. Djeca, željna zabave, pristaju, što ih vodi na opasnu pustolovinu kroz raznolike krajolike planeta. Autor kroz ovu napetu bajku istražuje probleme suvremenog društva, uključujući zaštitu okoliša, održivost, konzumerizam te važnost međusobnog poštovanja i prijateljstva. Likovi su slojeviti; u potrazi za zabavom, djeca ponekad postaju pohlepna i okrutna, ali kasnije shvaćaju posljedice svojih djela i odgovornosti. Knjiga zauzima posebno mjesto u islandskoj književnosti kao prva nagrađena dječja knjiga prestižnom Islandskom književnom nagradom, što je doprinijelo ozbiljnijem shvaćanju književnosti za djecu. Objavljena 1999. godine, prevedena je na više od 30 jezika i višestruko nagrađivana. Originalne ilustracije umjetnice Áslaug Jónsdóttir nominirane su za Časnu listu IBBY. Priča je više puta uprizorena u kazalištu, uključujući nastupe na velikim pozornicama u Islandu i inozemstvu.
