Download or read book The Martyr written by Liam O'Flaherty and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2020-09-09 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 1923 -and Ireland is at war! Government-Free State-forces and Republican volunteers who control Ireland's south, battle to control the country's destiny. In Liam O'Flaherty's novel, "The Martyr" (1933), banned in Ireland, Free State forces land on the Kerry coast and target Tralee, O'Flaherty's "Sallytown". Events around the Free State troop landing and its sequel are seen through the eyes of Sallytown's defenders and its townspeople, clerical and lay. In the author's fictional reconstruction of this real Civil War encounter, professional Free State troops face Sallytown's ill-trained, badly-led and poorly equipped volunteer defenders. The total ineffectuality of Sallytown's Republican leader relates to his obsession with Catholic nationalist ideology. A dialogue between him and a Free State army torturer paves the way for the novel's startling ending.

Peasants mutter superstition against Mary; Red John laughs at nothing, there's murder in his eyes; and a madman's yell hurls the Stranger back to sanity . . . .

Book Synopsis Searching for John Ford by : Joseph McBride
Download or read book Searching for John Ford written by Joseph McBride and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 2011-02-11 with total page 983 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Ford's classic films—such as Stagecoach, The Grapes of Wrath, How Green Was My Valley, The Quiet Man, and The Searchers—have earned him worldwide admiration as America's foremost filmmaker, a director whose rich visual imagination conjures up indelible, deeply moving images of our collective past. Joseph McBride's Searching for John Ford, described as definitive by both the New York Times and the Irish Times, surpasses all other biographies of the filmmaker in its depth, originality, and insight. Encompassing and illuminating Ford's myriad complexities and contradictions, McBride traces the trajectory of Ford's life from his beginnings as “Bull” Feeney, the nearsighted, football-playing son of Irish immigrants in Portland, Maine, to his recognition, after a long, controversial, and much-honored career, as America's national mythmaker. Blending lively and penetrating analyses of Ford's films with an impeccably documented narrative of the historical and psychological contexts in which those films were created, McBride has at long last given John Ford the biography his stature demands.
