Description
Translated by Diarmuid De Faoite.
Deich scéal den scoth ó scéalaí den scoth, Pádraig Ó Conaire, ceannródaí na cumadóireachta comhaimseartha Gaeilge, fear a raibh mórchion an phobail air riamh anall agus údar a spreag glúin i ndiaidh glúinede scríbhneoirí agus de mhic léinn na hÉireann.
An grá, an greann, an brón is an díoltas, an duine ina chraiceann dearg agus ina chulaith bhréige, nochtann Ó Conaire croí an duine dúinn.
Ten of the best from one of the best, Pádraig Ó Conaire, father figure of the modern Irish short story genre, and one whose reputation has been cast in stone and in bronze, is cast here now in English.
Selected from a variety of previous collections and first published in 1956, Scothscéalta: Best Stories went on to inspire generations of Irish people who held a special place in their hearts for this fearless writer who created local yet universal stories of timeless feeling. Available for the first time in English, it is hoped this bilingual offering may allow easy access to the visitor, scholar, English and Irish reader alike, into the creative world of the West of Irelans most loved scribe.
