Download or read book An Irish Eye written by John Hawkes and published by Penguin Group. This book was released on 1998 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The narrator of this wild, highly inventive tale is the orphan Dervla O'Shannon, dubbed "Thistle" because she is "skinny and prickly and unwanted". Reared at Saint Martha's Home for Foundling Girls until the age of puberty, her world is circumscribed by scrubbing floors, washing up the kitchen, and competing with thirty others for the attention of the Foundling Mother. Forced to pay entertainment calls on some of Ireland's national heroes sequestered at Saint Clement's home for Old Soldiers, Dervla is assigned to Corporal Stack, a wry malcontent, veteran of the First World War and old enough to be Dervla's grandfather. There follows an improbable and uproarious courtship between the two, their escape from their respective institutions, Dervla's endless stream of letters to the Foundling Mother, "true in sentiment but in every other way as false as a cat". Corporal Stack suffers a shocking injury, and the pair are taken in captivity to Great Manor, an Anglo-Irish estate inhabited only by a "young mistress" (a girl very like Dervla herself), her drunken brother, and a host of desolate babies. In a wonderfully unpredictable ending, the ever optimistic Dervla at last discovers the love and satisfaction she has been seeking throughout her adventures.

Book Synopsis Death on Ireland's Eye by : Dean Ruxton
Download or read book Death on Ireland's Eye written by Dean Ruxton and published by Gill & Macmillan Ltd. This book was released on 2022-02-10 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A tragic death, a murder trial and a 170-year-old mystery – but what really happened? Shortly after Maria Kirwan died in a lonely inlet on Ireland's Eye, it was decided that she had drowned accidentally during a day spent with her husband on the picturesque island. This inquest verdict appeared to conclude the melancholy events that consumed the fishing village of Howth, Co Dublin, in September 1852. But not long afterwards, suspicion fell upon Maria's husband, William Burke Kirwan, as whispers of unspeakable cruelty, an evil character and a secret life rattled through the streets of Dublin. Investigations led to William's arrest and trial for murder. The story swelled into one of the most bitterly divisive chapters in the dark annals of Irish criminal history. Yet questions remain: Does the evidence stand up? What role did the heavy hand of Victorian moral outrage play? Was William really guilty of murder, or did the ever-present 'moral facts' fill in gaps where hard proof was absent? Now, this compelling modern analysis revisits the key evidence, asking sober questions about the facts, half-facts and fantasies buried within the yellowed pages of the Ireland's Eye case files.
Download or read book An Irish Eye written by Gerry Adams and published by Brandon Books. This book was released on 2007 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The recent years covered by this unique book have seen momentous developments in Irish republicanism and in the politics of Ireland as a whole. From the IRA decision in 2005 to formally end its armed campaign and to put its arms beyond use to the Sinn Féin decision in January 2007 to support the policing and justice system, unparralleled historic change has taken place. In An Irish Eye, Adams brings to life his own perspective to bear on these developments in articles and speeches he has written as events unfolded. An accomplished writer as well as polical leader, he describes events, in which he has played such a significant role with insight, passion and humour. He gives the reader an unrivalled insight into pivotal movements of our recent history, and he takes the reader behind the scenes to witness events that continue to shape Irish society today. Including as it does Adams' historical appeal to the IRA and his call on Sinn Féin to support the policing and justice system, this book is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand Irish politics now. It is not just about the peace process, including observations about visits to the Basque country, the Middle East, South Africa and the USA. He also comments on the Celtic Tiger and other aspects of life in Ireland today; he takes a verbal poke at the establishment; he includes a handful of poems he has written in Irish, and he gives us a peak as some personal and humorous episodes as well as the more serious life and death issues.
Book Synopsis Irish Eyes by : Kathy Hogan Trocheck
Download or read book Irish Eyes written by Kathy Hogan Trocheck and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2001-03-06 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ex-cop Callahan Garrity was more than happy to leave the Atlanta P.D. behind her to start her own business -- the House Mouse cleaning service -- and to indulge in a bit of freelance private investigation on the side. However, she owes too much to her former partner, Bucky Deavers, to refuse his request that she accompany him to the department's annual St. Patrick's Day bash. But the celebrating ends abruptly -- and badly -- when Bucky is shot during an apparent liquor store robbery while they're on the way home. Callahan is devastated -- and the talk that perhaps Bucky was dirty only intensifies her pain. Now, with the help of her feisty Mice, she's determined to find the culprit and clear her friend's name, even if it means piercing the veil of secrecy surrounding an Irish fraternal police organization that might be brewing up something far more lethally potent than green beer.

Download or read book A Colder Eye written by Hugh Kenner and published by . This book was released on 1989 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hugh Kenner's theme is the Irish Literary Revival, that seizure of the English language by writers whose relation to it was oddly uncomfortable, even alien -- and their creation of a new idiom that would dominate and define International Modernism. His technique is anecdote and example. In his hands, biography jostles with critical insight, social history erupts into choice quotation, "facts" reveal themselves to be invention.

Book Synopsis The Celtic Way of Seeing by : Frank MacEowen
Download or read book The Celtic Way of Seeing written by Frank MacEowen and published by New World Library. This book was released on 2010-10-05 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Celtic Way of Seeing posits a direct link between the eye and the heart, a link that connects seekers to forces, energies, and knowledge that exist beyond the corporeal world. This book explores this concept through retelling the traditional story “The Settling of the Manor of Tara,” which describes the spiritual divisions of Ireland and the four directions — north, south, east, and west. The orientations to the four directions and the center become the focal point of a series of simple meditations that guide readers to “see” the directions, making the Irish Spirit Wheel come alive in their daily lives.
