Summary
"Liam O'Flaherty's Ireland celebrates the writer and his land, taking us on a magnificent journey of words and images." "Atmospheric black-and-white photographs of the Ireland of O'Flaherty's time rub shoulders with breathtaking colour pictures showing the natural splendour of O'Flaherty's native Aran Islands and the beauties of present-day Ireland. Detailed biographical information offers insights into the writer's early years, his World War I experiences, his involvement in the Irish Civil War and communist politics, his years as a scriptwriter in Hollywood, and his sudden rise to fame. The text is completed by the lyrical resonance of quotations from O'Flaherty's work, including several short stories as well as extracts from his novels."--BOOK JACKET.
