Omri Galperin, sum í tvey ár búði í Føroyum við familju sínari, hevur skrivað skaldsøgu, ið gongur fyri seg í Føroyum, og hon er útkomin á hebraiskum máli í Ísrael.

– Meðan eg búði í Føroyum kannaði eg føroyska søgu og mentan, eg var á 16 av teimum 18 oyggjunum, og eg tosaði við nógv fólk. Alt hetta havi eg brúkti til at skriva eina skaldsøgu, sum gongur fyri seg í Føroyum, sigur Omri Galperin við Sosialin um vikuskiftið.

Bókin, sum fyri kortum kom út í Ísrael, eitur »Oyggjarnar við endan av havinum«. Hilmar J. Højgaard hevur málað kápumyndina á bókini.

Bókin snýr seg um ein unglingin Jon, sum býr á Syðradali á Kalsoynni. Hann fer til Klaksvíkar at selja fisk, og tá hittir hann eina foreldraleysa gentu, sum hevur ein harðligan beiggja. Jon og ein vinmaður velja at hjálpa gentuni. Søgan gongur fyri seg fyri nøkrum øldum síðani og gevur lesaranum innlit í føroyska søga, og hvussu fólk stríddust við veður og vind og fyri at hava til dagin og vegin.

– Eg eri sera fegin um, at bókin er útkomin, og at hon hevur fingið góð ummæli í ísraelskum miðlum. Nú vóni eg, at bókin kann verða týdd til føroyskt mál og verða útgivin í Føroyum eisini, sigur Omri Galperin.

Longri samrøða kann lesast í Sosialinum um vikuskiftið.

Since I felt in love with the Faroe Islands and people, my family and I moved and lived for 2 years in Tórshavn and we were part of the community: the kids were in the local schools; my wife worked in the Apotek and l even worked as a cheese maker in MBM.

The book:
During my stay I did a deep research about the people, history and place. Then I worked for few years on my first Prose / Drama book which occurred mainly on the Island Kalsoy (Before James Bond 007 J) . The name of the book is: 'The Islands on the Edge of the Ocean' and has been published recently.

From the plot of the book:
On the village Syðradalur lives Jon, a young boy who has been forced to support his family due to his father's Life difficulties.

On one of his visits to the neighboring island, while he was going to sell some fish that he had caught, he met a young, orphaned girl whose only family was her grandmother and her extremely violent brother.

In order to help her in the fight against her brother, Jon and his friend Henrik perform an unexpected act that takes the plot to the edge.

'The Island at the Edge of the Ocean' takes readers back in time, to a time when the islanders had no modern facilities such as electricity or telephones. Their daily lives were interspersed with an almost constant confrontation with the strong winds, the rains and the hard ocean currents.

It is a surprising and exciting story that takes readers to a fascinating area of the world within which unique culture, spectacular landscapes, authentic cuisine, whale hunting and unconventional lifestyles exist.

The plot raises questions about morality and friendship that is tested in moments of extreme crisis.

Hebrew version – and maybe also in Faroese at future?
Currently the book has only Hebrew version but hopefully will have a Faroese version in future.

On the Israeli media the reviews are highly positive as well of the Hebrew readers.

The book cover was painted by the Faroese painter Mr. Hilmar J. Højgaard.
