Produktinformationen zu „The Story of the Irish Race (World Digital Library) (PDF)“
Ireland has a history seemingly as old as the sea itself, and just as tumultuous. Told in a glorious, overwhelming, and sensual tone, The Story of the Irish Race traces the roots of this fabulous and nimble people. MacManus does not stop with genealogy research; he delves into the evolution of the modern Irish character, explaining how Irish Catholic saints gave rise to feminism and the poet class inspired the legal wrangling of lawyers. Yet with a Stephen King-like lure, he also describes beheadings, royal strife and the potato famine. As you surrender to the history’s charms, it takes you on a voyage of its own. Drawing on many influences from ancient Irish poets to modern historians, the writer sets sail towards the twentieth century, pointing out the landmarks of Irish history like some ocean-going tour guide.
Autoren-Porträt von Lisa Marie Mims, Seumas MacManus
Seumas MacManus hails from Donegal, in northwest Ireland, where he taught at the same town school in which he was educated as a boy. When he heard that he could make good money selling stories to American publications, he set off for New York where his stories were met with enthusiasm. Although he, himself, had never gone to college, he became a lecturer and storyteller at American universities. His published works include Favorite Irish Folk Tales, Donegal Fairy Stories, Lad of the O’friels, Rocky Road to Dublin, and Yourself and the Neighbours.
