Description

Beagnach céad bliain ó céadfhoilsíodh Jimín Mháire Thaidhg, tugann an t-eagrán maisithe seo léargas úr ar an leabhar is aitheanta i gcorpas litríocht Ghaeilge na n-óg.

Sa bhliain 1919, thosaigh An Seabhac, gníomhaí teanga, eagarthóir agus scríbhneoir, ag foilsiú sraithscéil a bhain le sólás agus dólás Jimín Mháire Thaidhg, buachaill óg trí bliana déag d’aois, agus é ag fás aníos i nGaeltacht Chiarraí.

Leagan glanta agus giorraithe de Jimín Mháire Thaidhg a léigh glúine de pháistí scoile Éireannacha, ar baineadh tagairtí don chleamhnas, caidrimh idir dhaoine fásta agus an bás amach as. Filleann an t-eagrán seo ar an bhuntéacs agus tugann sé cuntas níos grinne agus níos greannmhaire ar nósanna agus ar chultúr na Gaeltachta ag tús an fichiú haois.

Cuireann léaráidí maisiúla Andrew Whitson barr maise ar an eagrán álainn seo agus cuireann siad go mór freisin le beogacht Jimín agus a chairde.

Tá réamhrá scolártha curtha ar fáil ag Ríona Nic Congáil ina bpléann sí cúlra Jimín Mháire Thaidhg agus an tábhacht a bhaineann leis na hathruithe a cuireadh i bhfeidhm i ndiaidh an chéad eagráin den leabhar.

Almost 100 years after the publication of Jimín Mháire Thaidhg, this illustrated edition presents the greatest classic of Irish-language children’s literature in a whole new light.

In 1919, An Seabhac, an Irish-language activist, editor and writer, began to publish a serial story about the daily triumphs and tribulations of thirteen-year-old Jimín Mháire Thaidhg as he grew up in the Kerry Gaeltacht.

The edition of Jimín Mháire Thaidhg read by Irish school children throughout the twentieth century was a sanitised and abridged version of the original serial story, with references to matchmaking, adult relationships and death having been removed. The original text is presented here and provides a more insightful and more humorous overview of Gaeltacht practices and culture in the early twentieth century.

This elegant new edition of Jimín Mháire Thaidhg features Andrew Whitson’s remarkable illustrations that illuminate the world of Jimín and his friends.

In a scholarly introduction, Ríona Nic Congáil discusses the background to Jimín Mháire Thaidhg and the significance of the changes that were made following the first edition of the book.
