Item Description
What explains the fact that one of the world's smallest, least assuming countries has consistently been among the top 15 international travel destinations for Americans? Ireland’s appeal can be attributed to many things: its blend of picturesque villages and bustling modern cities; its people known for their warmth, charm, stoicism, and individuality; its history—one of the most dramatic of any country on the planet—and its rich literary tradition.
This engaging collection of short stories captures all these qualities of Ireland and more. Organized geographically—a travel guide through the Emerald Isle’s literary landscape—these varied tales by some of the world’s most renowned writers give the reader an immediate feel for the country’s enduring past and exciting present. Ireland has been home to some of the world’s best writers, making this latest volume in Whereabouts Press’s Travelers Literary Companion series perfect for both those traveling to Ireland and armchair travelers alike. Ireland includes well-known literary giants such as James Joyce and Edna O’Brien, and introduces other (lesser-known yet award-winning) writers to American readers.
Whereabouts Press is an independent publisher of books that convey a sense of a place—a country, a region, a city—through stories. Unlike guidebooks written by professional travel writers, Travelers Literary Companions feature stories written by literary writers—all of whom are native to the places they write about. They didn’t write specifically for travelers. They wrote because they had good stories to tell. And their stories tell us not just about people, but about the soul of a place.
