Produktinformationen zu „Another Country - Growing Up In '50s Ireland (ePub)“

From First Communions to CIÉ Mystery Tours - the heartwarming story of award-winning journalist Gene Kerrigan's childhood in Dublin in the '50s

In his highly addictive style, Gene Kerrigan effortlessly reconstructs the Ireland of the 1950s and early '60s in which he grew up. An adult world of absolute moral certainties, casual cruelties and mass emigration; for children an age of innocence, but an innocence hemmed in by fear and guilt.

In this brilliant and humorous memoir, Kerrigan tells of a world that now seems as distant as another country. Into the details of school, street and family life, of Christmas, First Communion, school violence, CIE Mystery Tours and the arrival of television are woven the political background of the day and recollections of the impact of major figures: Michael O Hehir, Seán Lemass, Eamon 'Dev' De Valera, JFK, not to mention Hector Grey, Shane, Davy Crockett and Audie Murphy.

It's a compelling, touching and often very funny account of a happy childhood in a country that was itself far from happy.
