About the event

Jólabókaflóðið: An Icelandic Night of Books and Chocolate (and blankets and beanies)
In Iceland, Christmas begins with books. On the night of December 24, people give each other books, drink hot chocolate, and spend the night reading — it's the Jólabókaflóðið, the Icelandic “book flood” that takes place at this time of year.
On November 30, we're bringing this tradition to the Cidadela, in a special night dedicated to Icelandic culture, stories, and reading.
We'll have with us: Bernardo Conde from Trilhos da Terra, an explorer traveller who guides groups through ice and fire; a Portuguese woman who lived in Iceland for several years; and a genuine Icelander, to tell and share what makes Nordic Christmas so unique.
After the conversation, we want to hear from you: each participant is invited to recommend a book — the one you'd like someone to receive this Christmas.
There will be hot chocolate and blankets. No trolls, just good stories and fun people.
